Shower pressure was excellent, can't be doing with a dribble to try and wash my hair. I was running a little late for breakfast but they still let me order and enjoy it which was very kind.

Rachael United Kingdom

Friendly staff, clean room, comfortable bed and great location for a night out in Old Town. Good breakfast too.

Neil United Kingdom

Car parking on site was free and location is ideal in the centre of Old Town. Room was clean and spacious, warm and with a comfy bed. Bathroom was clean and the shower hot with good pressure. Breakfast options were good and the full English was delicious. Really good value with breakfast included.

Andrew United Kingdom

Friendly staff and efficient service. Character, period building with a lot of old world charm. Room was compact (single room) but well equipped with everything I needed. A very pleasant environment to stay in with a good breakfast to see you on your way.
