Their rooms have a minimalist design concept behind them. This makes their smaller than average rooms feel more open and spacious. While not as luxurious as other places, the real advantage of this motel is really its location.
This all does come in at a higher than average price, so better watch your budget as you cruise through all the nice pubs! Also keep in mind that this means your nights might be quite noisy. Still a great place to soothe a hangover though!
