The separate private bathroom was actually on the floor above, but again very clean and well appointed (except that the hot and cold taps are labelled the wrong way around!). The bedroom walls are not hugely sound proof but they thoughtfully provided ear plugs. Lots of cafés locally for breakfast. I'd certainly stay here again. "
