Great Location and Comfy Bed

great location comfortable bed overall cleanliness

The location was great (close to shops and the city centre). The big bed was very comfortable. the place was very clean. I found it quite convenient to access different spots.

The shower temperature was a bit temperamental. This made it slightly difficult to adjust the water to a comfortable warmth. I think improvements here could be helpful.
