Nice Stay

The location is central and within walking distance to many destinations. The rooms are comfortable. Moreover, the electric car charging stations on the premises were very useful."

Room was a good size. General property was in a good state, pu lic areas clean, fresh and pleasant. Within 20 minutes walk of the cathedral and majority of restaurants/pubs. Spa / pool was underwhelming.

Fab location

Excellent staff. Very comfortable. Good choice for breakfast. Very clean. Very good location for the centre. Although quite busy no trouble parking - reasonable rate too. Only issue we had was we had no hot water. They had a burst hot water pipe on our first morning, although I appreciate nothing could be done whilst repairs going on we received no notification or updates about this
