The hotel was very comfortable and in a convenient part of the city, within a short walk to the centre. Shops and bars nearby. We managed to park nearby. Bear in mind that the bar closes at 11:00 pm so if you are looking for a late evening drink, make sure you order early.

Bed was small, place doesn’t look anywhere near as nice as it looks in the pictures. Definitely needs updating and some money investing. It’s not awful but definitely not as good as advertised. Room also wasn’t cleaned during the stay and had to ring for clean towels. Disappointing stay
