Soundproofing is good, keeping rooms quiet. Some double rooms offer inner courtyard views. Connecting rooms and cots are available on request. A few guests have noted that room sizes can feel compact, particularly for stays longer than two nights; booking a larger room if available is recommended for longer visits.

A staff member may remember specific breakfast requests from the previous day - a personalised touch often noted. For non-residential guests, breakfast costs £7.95 per person.
