Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Book a garden-facing room if you prefer a quiet environment, as these are consistently quieter than rooms at the front.

  • 02

    Use the frequent bus services (stop a 1-2 minute walk away) for a 10-20 minute ride to the city centre, rather than driving and finding city-centre parking.

  • 03

    Arrive after 14:00 using the self check-in system; access codes are sent a few days before arrival, so ensure your contact details are up to date.

  • 04

    Factor in the two flights of stairs as there is no lift; the property is on elevated ground.
