    Friendly staff and a great place for a one-night stay. The next day, we headed to Hortons Park, and they prepared a delicious egg sandwich for us to take along.

    The location was great very cozy rooms. The best part of our stay was being greeted by Roshan at the front desk. He went over and beyond to make us feel welcome. Kudos to Roshan.

    In the center, 1 min walk to the coolest pub and restaurant. The guy who met us at the reception was so nice and they accepted a last minute booking. The room was clean and tidy, with a shared balcony. Very convenient and recommended.
