Wonderful friendly staff. Rooms (2) were comfortable and had quality sheets and linens. I was on the top floor walk up. I needed a nap after climbing the stairs. I went out without my phone, remembered in the lobby. Didn’t go back to get it.lol Highly recommend, but be prepared to climb steps.

Genuinely this hotel is a gem of a find. The staff we met were warm, friendly, welcoming and professional. The decor as you go in is wonderful as was the room and the room + bathroom were spotlessly clean. Fantastic location and despite being central was perfectly quiet inside. Will definitely be going back. Brilliant in every respect.
