a charming retreat amidst history

excellent location comfortable beds equipped kitchen
I found the location excellent. Waverley train station was nearby. the room's beds were comfortable, a relief after long days of exploration. the well-equipped kitchen was an advantage, and access to the washing and drying machines in the lower level was useful.
i noticed the fuse had been removed from the towel rail, so it was not working.

Convenient and Well-Equipped

convenient location simple meals
The location is very convenient. The grocery store is five minutes away , so saving money on breakfast and dinner was easy. I loved the mini kitchen and how it had everything I needed to prepare simple meals.
The mattress was unsatisfactory and uncomfortable since the bed was convertible to a sofa. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful.
