Charming and Convenient Stay

excellent location helpful amenities clean materials simple luggage storage

The location is excellent for accessing public transport. The room had all necessary amenities including an ironing board and iron which I found helpful (especially for my opera visit). The room materials seemed easy to keep clean. Storing luggage was simple because of my late flight.

The air conditioning unit was a little noisy.
