Had a fantastic stay. Hotel is very clean & lovely staff. Everyone from manager/reception/breakfast & cleaning staff - everyone spoke, although often think you get back what you offer. We always speak & express our thanks to all members of staff. Great position for walking into city centre. Have to pay to park car but expected this being in city centre & area felt safe so no worry’s leaving car.

Excellent situation, walkable to the city centre & cathedral with all its amenities and Christmas market. Good buffet breakfast although overcrowded at peak times with a queue to get in to the restaurant. Local car park gets full but there is another just down Tudor Street with plenty of spaces available.
