central location, but some issues

mold problem dirty spoon
the location was definitely a plus, being central to everything.. it made exploring the area quite convenient.
the bathroom had a significant mold problem. i also found a dirty spoon among the tea and coffee making facilities. getting an extra towel proved impossible, as my request was ignored.

Fantastic Stay Right by the Walls!

prime location friendly host reasonable rate
The location was unbeatable. I was right by the walls. Kieran, the host, was friendly and helpful! The room rate was very reasonable, especially considering the prime location (a total win!).
The lounge area access was unavailable, as it was locked, and Kieran wasn't around until breakfast.

Kieran was a fabulous host. He looked after us at breakfast and even provided a ride to the train station when we were running late. His attentiveness.
