Room is big, spacious, clean, lots of light- the shower is good. We never heard the music downstairs, nor any loud pub noise. It was quiet and lovely!

The location was absolutely perfect, right in the city center and close to many restaurants and bars. Upon arrival they directed us to a parking ramp and gave us a discount ticket for when we left to cover some of the cost. We parked overnight and it was only 11 euro. We did not have any issues with noise and room was very comfortable.

All the staff where unbelievably helpful and welcoming. The location is superb, and as we were staying there with a 1 year old, everything was so close by. Tad noisy yes, but we knew it would be, and they put us on the third floor, so it was grand. Staff couldn't have been kinder to us and our son, so we'll definitely be back

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay- booked 2 rooms, 1 for myself and my husband and 1 for my 18-year-old daughter. The retro-funky styling of the rooms was a plus, in the very centre of the city's main street of pubs, restaurants and shops. The staff were super friendly at check-in and check-out. Parking is about a 5 mins walk, no place to pull up and drop your stuff off, so if you do have mobility issues, not sure if it might not be the place for you- might want to contact the hotel. Even though you are right in the middle of the hustle and bussle it was still very quiet. Would definitely recommend for anyone staying in the area and wants to walk the area

The hotel is located above a bar that has live music. If you're looking to get a good nights sleep before 2am, I'd recommend staying somewhere else. Good walk to all location and clean/newer rooms.

You’re in the middle of it all at the Residence. Great dining and shopping are right outside your door, and the attached pub is great too. Bring earplugs on a weekend!
