Pros

Located in a quiet residential neighborhood while maintaining proximity to attractions

Dedicated business facilities with high-speed internet and meeting spaces

On-site licensed restaurant serving multiple meal periods including weekend brunch

Complimentary fitness center access and bicycle rentals available

Cons

Limited on-site parking spaces

1 mile distance from main city center attractions

“The location, a residential area just a short walk from the city centre, strikes a nice balance. While some reports mention cleanliness issues that would give me pause, the presence of spacious rooms and the inviting Caffè Ethos, with its blend of English and Italian cuisine, are definite pluses. It seems like a spot with potential, though one might want to manage expectations on arrival.”
