"Great location, really stylish especially for the price. The wee double room was basic in amenities but thoughtfully decorated and had what you need, spotless too! It was definitely wee but perfect for one person and more than suitable for two if you’re happy to be cosy! They accommodated bag storage and late check out without a fuss and were friendly and helpful."
