The location was perfect for The Playhouse, straight across the road.
The breakfast although delicious was a bit chaotic. Didn't seem to be any system.

Warm welcome at reception, nice room with a good view onto the lively street, comfortable bed, good bathroom.
Breakfast was disappointing for someone who doesn't eat meat. Little choice of vegan food. Bread selection poor and no fresh salad items like tomatoes or cucumber. Virtually no selection of cheese. Some of the reception staff were "cold" and unwelcoming - in stark contrast to the bubbly, friendly reception staff who welcomed us to the hotel.

Great location, easy walking distance to shops, restaurants etc. The hotel itself was clean, our rooms were clean and warm, and pretty much everything we needed was provided
More a suggestion than a didn’t like - Could have done with a couple more tea bags and a double level towel rail would have been nice (to let the towels dry/air better)

Accessible to transportation. Breakfast was good. 24 hour tea/coffee service was nice. Staff was very nice. Nice bar.
For 2 people, it is fine, but any more than that is very cramped. Rooms are very small and bathrooms could’ve been cleaned better. No ramp to bring luggage in front door. Had to carry suitcases up the stairs.
