What people say

The fact the room had a little telly and kettle and fridge... The curfew - i.e. making sure people were not drinking and socialising in the courtyard after 10pm The option for a free drink at a local pub. The receptionist was just so lovely - she offered to store my bag after I checked out so I could roam the city before my flight :).
all reviews Old nice building, good bathrooms, comfy bed. Its location and price. Being positioned right outside the courtyard (however this was made up for with the curfew) Our bathroom door was a bit broken - was really hard to slide open and close. Small kitchen, a bit noisy at night, nothing to do around.
