The area is quiet and nice and the staff very polite. The rooms are clean but they are super hot without a proper ventilation other than a small fan and a window that you can lift no more than 2 inches..

The hotel was loverly and friendly . The rooms were clean and respectable. Great Breakfast and service. My only complaint was about the noise from Bar across road and people leaving quite late mainly students. However it did mention this on website that some times it could be noisy due to bar below hotel . No mention of bar and terrace across the road.

The location was great. Staff was very friendly, and the property was beautifully renovated. Elevator was available. Suggestion for improvement: install AC units in rooms on top floors. Our room on the 3rd Fl. already heated up quite well during the day in May. Cool nights and open windows helped but might not be effective during a hot summer. Also, please install a lock box in rooms. I will stay here again.
