Very cool building in an excellent location. My room was small (described as "cozy"), but very affordable and had everything I needed. I would definitely stay here again.

Needs updating.
The bathroom although clean was needing the shower and surroundings redone. There were black marks along the bottom of the shower and bodged on the outside where it probably leaked at one time. The windows rattled all night and were dirty and needed painting. There was no one in reception so eventually went to the bar to ask someone to check me in. The staff were pleasant when arrived.
