Excellent stay - decently sized rooms kept really well. Location is very convenient - good transport options and all key tourist spots are quite close. Staff is super nice! The hotel bar is also good for both drinks and some snacking options.

We loved our stay here. The room was fantastic, spotlessly clean and the bed was so comfy. The location was ideal and we walked everywhere but the train station was just across the road. The staff were helpful and very polite. We would definitely stay here again!
