Central Stay with Whisky Delights
helpful staffbreakfast bagfirst-floor suitelocal musicians
The staff assisted with luggage up several flights of stairs. A room upgrade to a first-floor suite followed a minor heat issue. I received a breakfast bag for an early excursion, it was a very nice touch. I enjoyed the bar downstairs. Local musicians played there.
The room was on the top floor, and the ceiling was low. The bathroom was a bit small. It could be challenging for taller guests.
Rooms
9/10
The rooms feature stylish interior design, which adds a thoughtful touch. The room was warm and comfy. Cleanliness was apparent throughout my room, I saw no dust, everything was super clean.

Although the hotel does not have its own restaurant, a whisky bar exists on the premises. The bar is amazing. There are many establishments for dining within walking distance. John knows all things whisky.
Location
10/10
The hotel is situated in a central location. This makes moving around easy. Many local restaurants are within easy access. I would book reservations. The position is convenient for walking.

The location is central. I found it easy to access nearby amenities. The bar downstairs featured live music. The beer garden provided a nice outdoor space.
The room was on the top floor. I had to climb a few flights of stairs. The bathroom felt a bit small.
