clean room lovely staff great location
I got a room right beside Eyre Square! The staff were lovely. The room was spotlessly clean. They gave great info in the room like suggestions on where to eat and useful numbers.
The room felt very small, I could barely walk around the bed. There was no closet for my clothes.

clean bathroom big shower secure gate
The bathroom was super clean and the shower was big enough. There was a Nespresso machine with capsules in the room (a nice touch). I felt secure with the gate and the locking doors from 9pm-9am.
The room was very tiny, which suited me as a solo traveler but might be cramped for two people.
