“The rooms struck me as a good base; clean, with notably comfortable beds and a surprisingly homely decor. Its location is convenient for local shops, cafes and bars, and the walk to the Old Town is manageable. I felt that the provision of complimentary water and soft drinks was a kind and unexpected touch.”
