The location was great! the rooms had character, with large windows i loved. i appreciated the discounted cava at secret garden on tuesdays. It was a nice perk. breakfast was good, with a solid selection.
The lack of coffee in the room was a drawback. I missed having that first cup without going downstairs.

Solid Hotel in the Heart
breakfast choiceshelpful staffsmall room
The breakfast choices impressed me. The chef cared about guests, and the staff helped with everything. I also got a breakfast box because I had to leave early one day.
The standard room I booked seemed small. It looked more like a budget room, and tea and coffee cost extra. This differs from other hotels in the area.
Location

The hotel has a superb location. It is a few streets off the busy area. This fact makes it quieter, but it remains a close walk to main attractions.
