i secured multiple rooms because a group of us attended an event. its location near main attractions worked really well. the breakfast was a treat i ate.
The street noise continued past 2am, which did bother me. They could install better soundproofing. there was very little space for maneuvering in the bathroom. A slight inconvenience.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location is very GOOD, close to many restaurants and shops. The train station is also only a short walk AWAY, handy.
There was only a small plug in radiator in the room, with no built-in heating. Windows were single panes of GLASS, letting in draughts. The shower had a poor flow of REALLY hot water.

The toilet seat was loose, and there were no hooks to hang things on in the bathroom. there also was no shelf to put toiletries on. This was a real inconvenience.
