The location IS excellent. The room included both a king bed and a single bed. A nice touch. I found a kettle with tea and coffee, convenient. The staff were very attentive in the restaurant, accommodating dietary needs with alternative options.
My room faced the back of the building, so the view wasn't ideal. I saw mainly service areas.

The location was really central, perfect for exploring. The staff at reception were friendly and helpful with directions. The room was spacious and very clean, with a lovely view of the surrounding area (I enjoyed watching the sunset!).
The music from the pub downstairs was quite loud until midnight. The noise from the boilers woke me up early.
