10/10 Exceptional

Second time I have stayed here and plan to book again, love that it is so close to the centre but just far enough out to be quieter at night. The staff are always helpful and friendly. The rooms clean and the beds comfy. The breakfast is good, although I would suggest going down early as not a very big space if it’s busy.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

The location of the hotel was great. We were able to easily access many places on foot. The lack of a window in the room was a bit disappointing, as the room felt stuffy. The breakfast was also sufficient.
