clean room fresh breakfast helpful staff random decor creaky floorboards no ironing board
i enjoyed the cleanliness of my double room with a private bathroom. the fresh breakfast was definitely a plus. (the coffee was really good!) the staff were friendly and helpful .
the room decor felt a little random and not very cohesive. the floorboards were quite creaky, noticeable at night. i also found that there was no iron in the room, and while i received one when i asked, there was no ironing board available.

limited space poor reception
The room was quite small. There wasn't much space for luggage. Blackout curtains did not close fully, so thin, see-through curtains were all that remained. were loud on the phone and played music by the entrance late at night. The staff did not respond to my messages about my arrival time and there was no one at reception when I arrived.
