I felt the location was pretty good. We were able to walk to alot of destinations. I felt the room was extremely small. I understand we opted for bunkbeds but still. I also felt like breakfast could have been included or a voucher provided. Everywhere offers you breakfast these days.

I found the space well set up, comfortable and quiet. While we couldn’t use the rooftop (off season) there was a nice lounge space we could hang out together. I also greatly appreciated the complimentary coffee and tea in the morning in lobby. They also had some breakfast items for a fee but looked great if you didn’t want to go out
