charming stay near abbey steps!
great location early room
the location was fantastic. it was so close to the abbey steps. the room was ready early. it was beautifully decorated with everything needed.
The noise was awful. It made sleep impossible. two pubs within 50 metres were rowdy! constant foot traffic after midnight was annoying.

Fantastic stay near the Abbey Steps!
great location modern room clean space comfortable room
Our room had a perfect location near the abbey steps. The communication from the staff was great, informing us when our room was ready early. The room was modern and ideal. It was very nice and neat.
I noticed a little noise from other guests. It sounded like a family with heavy footsteps above us. I could hear the toilet flushing too, a bit noisy. I appreciate this is an old building but it made sleep difficult.

Excellent Stay Near the Steps
clean room perfect location clear communication
The room had everything I needed and was very clean. The location was PERFECT. It was very close to all attractions. Check-in was easy, and communication from the owners was clear. I would definitely come back again!!!
I found the parking situation to be a bit challenging. The cost added up, and finding spaces for dropping off luggage was difficult.
