The hotel is near everything you need: market, restaurant, tram station, pubs… although the bed is so small and they don’t keep your luggage overnight, what it was a problem to us. People are so friendly and they helped us all the time.

Disliked: Amenities
This is a student housing building open to the public for limited times in the year. It is not a hotel and although it provides a lot of space and privacy for the price (~£100) a night the amenities are bare minimum, cleanliness could be a lot better. Overall it ok if you are not fuzzy about staying in a from but pricey.
