Weekend break

Hotel itself was clean and comfortable. Lovely clean bathroom. Couldn’t fault it. The only problem for our room was that it was next to the bar next door. They had loud music and karaoke up until midnight and it kept us both awake both nights.

Over night stop

Just an overnight stop with my son. Outside hotel looks bland but the room was spacious, well furnished and a modern bathroom. We arrived at 10pm and left at 7am so didn’t use any other services. Location is good, close to Train Station and the Cathedral

I stayed here because of its location. I found it to be very noisy on the streetside. I am an extremely light sleeper and barely got much sleep. Breakfast is nice and the staff was a pleasure and helpful.

Great location and friendly service.

The reception was excellent and very helpful, and there are many things very good - nice linens and pillows (bed was a bit firm for my taste, but not bad at all), very clean, good breakfast, great location. However, we had a weird room. I didn’t realize I was booking a suite. It has stairs inside the room between where the bath and bedroom is (which is in the pictures), but it also has a toilet room that is very awkward to use as you have to sit under a sink! That was not in the pictures. I think their regular rooms are better. Also - we were there on the weekend and there are 2 very loud bars next door. Bring earplugs (I always have some so it wasn’t a problem for me).
