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.

Great place to stay

The pain is peeling but the staff are great and lots of lovely little touches. Comfy bed, complimentary fruit bowl, mini bar, proper glasses in the bathroom, nice and clean, good tea/coffee in room, warm and cozy, breakfast was delicious and cooked to order, restaurant did great pub type food also and good selection of drinks and cocktails. They asked for a security deposit on arrival which worried me but very little noise from other rooms and overall a great place to stay. Very close to uni where I was going.
