8/10 Good
"Lovely place to stay! A very central location, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The accommodation was immaculately clean, practical and had a calm, pleasant atmosphere. There are just a couple of small things that could be improved. The breakfast was quite basic, and it would be lovely to see some healthier options, such as oats or muesli, fresh fruit and fresh juice. The room was also a little too warm, and unfortunately, the air conditioning didn’t seem to make much difference. Parking was 2 min away - but very expensive (about £45/ night). If you are happy to walk about 8 min - you can get parking over night - maybe it was for 24hrs, not sure, for about £18 (JustPark) Overall, a lovely, peaceful and convenient place to stay. I would happily recommend it!"
