8/10 Good
"The location is outstanding, close to everything, Room was small but they had made good use of space. The key safe pickup was easy. I did call the reception on the number provided to enquire about aircon & accessing an iron as presenting material next day. There was no response over the 3 days despite leaving my name & number, the msg actually said it was the hotel Challis - maybe they run both? The shared bathroom was a concern- was cleaned daily - but after landing and needing a shower in the early evening there was hairs long, short, curly …. there was also a rapid decrease in toilet paper (pilfered perhaps). There are stairs to each floor so ensure you are able to climb them & perhaps pack lite. Generally however the location made everything ok - next door is the ‘grumpy baker’ outstanding!!"
