cosy roomloud streetsingle-pane windows
The room was super clean and super cosy.
The Polar Bear room faced the street. It was loud. I could hear cars and people all night even with the windows closed. I also didn't like that the windows seemed to be single pane, it does not help isolate the sound. I feel that the price of the room with these issues is a bit much.

The hotel was stylish and clean. our st hilda suite offered beautiful abbey views from the window. It was worth the stairs. the staff was friendly and helpful throughout my stay.
the bed in my suite could have been more comfortable. the pillows felt quite firm, more like bricks than pillows at times.

The location was great for walking straight into the heart of the city.
The price was a little high because it markets itself as a bed and breakfast, but this is somewhat misleading. I didn't get any discount in the cafe downstairs. The pillows reminded me of BRICKS sometimes.
