The hotel is in a great central spot! It's super close to the outdoor market and many amazing restaurants and pubs. I found an iron in the hall. It was so handy because I didn't even have to ask for it! The hotel rooms were very clean, and the WiFi worked well.
The staircase carpet looked a bit grubby. I think it needed a good scrub.
