Very nice but take earplugs.

The hotel was lovely and clean, with a spacious room and bathroom. The pubs/clubs are right next door and will keep you awake unless you are joining them of course or have earplugs ! I would have joined them but had to be up early unfortunately, they were having a great time ! A bit of a Karen comment ... but would have been nice to have had a sachet of hot chocolate, along with all the herbal tea and coffee when I was losing the will to live in the early hours. Sorry to be negative and if I was out partying myself then I would stay again for sure.

Total stay experience was wonderful. The staff is exceptionally helpful and accommodating. The hotel location is central to and walkable for everything (castle, shopping, restaurants, etc), plus is clean and well maintained. The room is easily accessible, comfortable, and located within the hotel for a quiet stay.

It was ok but the air con in the room wasn’t working. I reported this and someone did something (and visited my room), told me it was fixed but it wasnt. A warm and uncomfortable night. It wasn’t cheap to stay here so not very impressed.
