Pros. Excellent location - could not be bettered. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Comfortable room. Value for money was quite good considering the location. I really enjoyed my stay.

Cons. Quite a lot of dust and fluff, for example at/on the base of the bedside lights. Apart from that, the room was clean

Pros. Near the pedestrian walkway and close to many shops and pubs.

Cons. The plumbing is apparently below the sewer line because there was a pump on the sink, toilet, and shower. Problem is it was unpleasantly loud. And I think they missed a plumbing trap, because the bathroom always smelled like sewer gas. But, other than that the room was lovely and quaint. Breakfast was simple but super good. Croissants, butter, jelly fruit, sandwich meats, coffee was good too.
