Pros: Location can't be beat. Charming vibes. Cons: Room was very small, which we expected. However, there was no air conditioning, and the room was street level so it was very noisy having the window open. The toilets clogged very easily and the shower was mediocre.

Pros: Helpful, attentive staff Cons: Street level room had no buffer from street noise. Window AC unit made it impossible to close the blinds fully and they did not have black out so the room was bright super early. Room was so small the door hit the bed upon entry.
For me, it was not worth the money - not good enough for what we paid.
Pros: Convenient location, very walkable around the hotel. Cons: 1. Windows were overlooking the street that's full of bars and it was EXTREMELY noisy at night. 2. Shared bathrooms were not very clean (we stayed in a room with shared facilities). 3. We stayed 3 nights and on the first day our room was tidied up in a usual way (fresh towels, etc) but on the 2nd day it was not. 4. Bed was very soft and plush, to the point where your spine bends and it feels like sleeping in a hammock - which my back did not like.
Cons: Pillows, all fluff, no stuff. Bed is also mushy, they need updating
The room was was nicely furnished and comfortable. Restaurants and shops were just outside the building.
