Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very kind staff, good location, lovely decor, and sweet welcome gift. Walls are thin, however, with slopping and creaking floors (and bed), and an overly complicated and temperamental TV. Have already noted to management that the WiFi requires far too much personal information in order to log in. Feels intrusive and corporate for an otherwise homey place.

Friendly and accommodating staff, quirky and stylish hotel and bar, slightly off the main drag but just a short walk to shops and restaurants. Would happily recommend a stay at this hotel.
