"Incredible hotel. Receptionist super helpful and friendly. As expected, the stairs were very steep (we were on 4th floor - slept 3 people either double bed and single). Shower and room was clean. Great location - would recommend!"

"We loved our stay here. The receptionist was very nice and helpful. The location is perfect, close to a grocery store and great restaurants/pubs.
