    Single room with easy access to the bathroom/ showers, just on the edge of the main street and down the alley so basically no traffic or noise at night, very convenient for my needs, and I didn't really hear or see any other guests, which was...

    Fantastic layout, very close to amenities, well presented. The staff were beyond helpful from start to finish, would definitely come back again!
