This hotel does not have a reception, you check in at the bar. We arrived to find out that the bar and restaurant were closed due to a plumbing problem. This was an annoyance since we had planned to just eat dinner there and get an early night before our flight home. Instead we had to go out and find somewhere to eat. The room did not have a window, just a skylight, but seemed clean and functional. We left early to head to the airport so no idea if breakfast was available. I would not choose this property again.

Great location. Very walkable and the rooms were surprisingly quiet. The staff was extremely helpful and kind but the room was than expected. It was a bit run down and smelled of old cigarette smoke in the bathroom.

If you stay here make sure not to have a room over the bar. Our room was quiet but others in our group said it was very loud. Staff was great, food was so so. Overall I would rate it a 7.

Room was clean and there were shops nearby. Only complaint is that the pub had music/bass shaking the walls until the early hours. I should have done more research so that is my issue.
