Tiny room which was fine for single but hope not considered a double!! Weird little bathroom and shower pod, stain (mold?) on outer wall from leaking. Nice storage space & long but narrow shelf-desk.

This hotel is very conveniently located only five minutes walk from Cathedral Square. The staff were very good. The bar was also good, with happy hour every day from 4:00-6:00. The main issue is that the rooms are incredibly small. About 10 m2, with the bed (only a double) enclosed on three sides by walls. It was impossible for the person nearest the wall to get out of bed at night without disturbing the other. Also the bathroom is a quarter circle modular arrangement that is again incredibly small, so it is virtually impossible for two people to be in the bathroom at the same time.

OK rooms but no sleep on Friday or Saturday nights
The room was small but functional, a bit tired but clean and well-serviced. However the hotel it is located next to a bar that has very loud music running very late into the wee small hours on Friday and Saturday nights. Despite earplugs and sleeping with a pillow over my head it was still very loud and annoying.

A little bleach in the sink to get rid of the coffee stains and the hair should have been removed from the drain. Outlets are too close to the counter so adapter wouldn't plus in. Had to move the fridge to access. Breakfast was nice.

Compact rooms well equipped but they save on space to allow cheaper rates. Super modern. Good breakfast buffet to start your day. Breakfast costs more if you pay when you book your room. Buy it when you show up in the morning instead.
