Cheerful stay!
spacious roomcomfortable bathquiet areacentral location
I thought the room was super spacious. It included a sofa so i could relax. The bathroom was also huge and it offered a comfortable bath. The location felt very quiet despite how central it seemed to be.
The building looked a little tired.

A Romantic Getaway!!!
spacious roomdaily cleaningcoffee replenishment
our room, the 'Superior Double Room', was spacious. It provided ample room for both of us. The daily cleaning service kept everything immaculate. I especially appreciated the little touches, such as replenished tea and coffee.
The outdoor pool was not available . That was a slight disappointment.
