We enjoyed our stay and found the service friendly and obliging. The only thing we could find fault with was that we had no views and we felt a bit 'boxed in' For city accommodation, it was convenient. Thank you

Small corner studio unit.
Friendly welcome. The unit we stayed in had an unusual layout in a corner between two other units. The sleeping area was very small but ok for the one night. The decor and condition of the kitchen area was dated and in need of repair in places, for instance the utensils drawer nearly fell out when we opened it and a cupboard had broken boards down the bottom. The wifi kept dropping out although this could have been a provider issue. The toilet and shower areas were also dated but serviceable. The toilet roll holder was innovative. My husband wants to buy one .
