The room was very small,and furniture too large for the space. My legs are bruised with catching the tv table as it was very close to the bed. Overall, the breakfast and the staff were good, but the room was dated and not worth what we paid for it.

Lovely old building, and very friendly helpful staff, however the walls and floors are very thin. You will hear everything your upstairs and next door neighbours are saying and doing.
