The beds are comfy and I was lucky to have a quiet room during my stay. The breakfast is basic and includes oats, cereal, bread, butter, jam, muffins, milk, juice and coffee. This is a good option if you want to save money. The location is amazing, just in the downtown!

Availability of kettles in shared places in rooms for heating water would have been a great comfort. sometimes going to 2 floor only for a cup of tea was inconvinient. Rest all good.

Great location! Close to everything you'd like to explore. Nice activities offered, although I didn't use them, so make sure you do. If you're a simple guy, having peanut butter jelly sandwich for breakfast, it's the place. The receptionist was kind enough to let me check in ahead of time. Thanks!
