the staff were always ready to help with a smile. they were attentive too. from check-in, everything looked seamless. the room itself was clean.
the room, a petite, felt small. there wasn't enough space for two people to stand comfortably. the bathroom was tiny too. the window faced directly onto the street and i needed to keep the blind closed.

Charming stay with good surprises

lovely staffextra timeamazing interiorlimited space
I found the staff lovely and accommodating. They offered us extra time in our room. We also got two drink tokens at the bar to celebrate our anniversary. The hotel vibe and interior are amazing, with many things to admire and it is well-kept.
The petite room was small (but expected). I did struggle with limited space to get ready in the tiny bathroom. While sat on the toilet, the sink was almost on my lap.
