Property was in a good location, minutes from Tram, the disappointing room size was a complete turnoff.
The head of bed literally inches from toilet.

Wonderful service, spotless room & outstanding breakfast. Had to leave at 6am on checkout day & they prepared and left a big to-go breakfast for us to take along on the train. Easy transport via trams. Would definitely stay there again.
