Excellent Visit, Flaws Are Tiny

friendly host fresh bedding soft towels cozy space
The host was very friendly. Breakfast included fresh white bedding and soft towels. The design was artwork. I felt safe as a solo traveller, so great. The location are close to center. The breakfast are lovely. I appreciate the clean, cozy space. Tommy's breakfasts are really good.
The room felt a bit dated and in need of some updating. I found hairs in the shower and around the bathroom floor. The dining room was also in the basement and very dark. I found it was cramped with a lot of tables very close together.

Satisfactory stay at this hotel

convenient location cute host scottish breakfast spiral staircase decorations clutter usb ports
I appreciated the convenient location for accessing restaurants and transportation. It was approximately a ten-minute walk. The host was very cute. The breakfast was wonderful, with good variety (especially the scottish breakfast).
The staircase was a spiral staircase and too cluttered with decorations towards the bottom. I have poor knees, so it was difficult to navigate. I also found little to hold on to, worse when carrying a suitcase. There weren't any usb ports to charge my devices.
