Great Location
Great location, right near the train station. Room and bathroom were clean and large. One draw back is the heavy smells coming from a soap shop next door.
Traveller's tip
Prince’s Street is under construction and will be for a while.

Great Location
Hotel is in a great location but you pay for it, our room was on the street and it was noisy. Staff was young and a bit surly.The room was very clean and a nice bathroom. It was a bit stuffy and we could not find a control so had to open a window.
Traveller's tip on getting the most out of your stay
Take one of the on/off double decker busses around the city. You get to see alot in one day if your time is short. We liked the one with a commintator not the ear phones.

Higly recocomended
Excellent location in city center close to train station and public transportation including airport shuttle. Only negative is negotiating one flight of stairs with a heavy bag although bellman will carry luggage up if you go to registration and request assistance. Room wasclean and neat, better than many places I’ve stayed. Highly recommended
