Shower was great, very nice after a long day of hiking. Room had a small desk, so could use my laptop. Good location, super close to shops and bus stops. They also let you keep the bag in storage on the check out day, really appreciate this.

I really enjoyed the breakfast: I recommend the benedicts eggs on asparagus. I love to live in a living place with pub and restaurant. The wifi is excellent. We have to work and for us, it is a must to get a good wifi connection. We like to get coffee and tea in our bedroom.
