Breakfast was excellent, good quality, and plenty of it. The room was clean but tired looking could do with general refurbishment, kitchenette tap felt like it could fall off. Plumbing was temperamental when we arrived but seemed to be fixed the next day. Make sure you pre book parking, we didn't, luckily they could accommodate us.

This is a little hotel made from some houses so there isn't a lobby or lifts. But my room was spacious and had everything I needed (little mini kitchen in the corner too!). The breakfast was excellent. We hung in the dining room at the end our our day with some drinks chatting with other guests and the bartender which was really nice. This was our favorite place to stay on this trip.

The property offers good value. It’s a reasonable price and a 12 minute walk to the City center. The in room amenities were okay. The staff were helpful. We had an issue with hot water which was promptly. The Ethos cafe is handy but the food options including breakfast is only average What I didn’t like: the property should disclose prominently that accessibility may be an issue as there were many steps both to check in and to our room.

Breakfast was good. Parking was 30 pounds to park on the sidewalk. They gave 20 back in a restaurant/bar credit. Shower clauking was moldy, shower leaked all over the floor. Bed was ok. King size. The pictures on expedia were for sure misleading. This place was in a neighborhood that you could barely drive a car down the street. The main building where rhe restaurant was had an odd odor. I wouldnt stay there again.
