Comfortable hotel with good breakfast

Clean and comfortable hotel with a great breakfast. Some of the furniture in our room was a little dated and in need of a refresh but room had vey useful mini fridge and good size bathroom. There were four of us with two of us sleeping on a sofa bed which was very comfortable- not always the case in other hotels. Breakfast selection was very good and nicely cooked. Kids enjoyed the table football and small games area. Hotel is also walkable to most on the main sites. Would stay again.

Great stay!

Great little hotel. Comfy, quiet rooms and the staff are excellent. The breakfast was very good too and catered for all requirements. Only thing that let it down were the lifts - there seems to be an issue with going up, though not down!
