"Just right"
May not be the most modern but makes up by being reasonably priced, central and facilities suitable for a short stay. Room clean and spacious only drawback is having to carry bag up to reception but thankfully I am able enough.

This was our first visit to this hotel and it won`t be the last. Centrally situated within easy reach of all the major sights, it couldn`t be better. The food in the bar was excellent (we didn`t try the Restaurant) The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We had an internal room but next time we will have a room with a window. All in all a very enjoyable stay.

"convenient"
The hotel was very close to the railway station, tourist buses, shops, restaurants and sights. The view from the hotel lounge was fabulous and the rooms at the back were surprisingly quiet (except for the tick of the wall heater - a minor inconvenience) . Slightly "tired" décor but clean bathroom and value for money.

" Comfortable, great location and very friendly and helpful staff"
After the initial disappointment of being allocated an internal room, the hotel was quick and happy reallocating us an alternate room which we were more than happy with. Very comfortable and a great view

"Excellent location "
Lovely hotel but in need of some decoration for example seats in rooms need recovering. Also no vegan options on the menu so has to go out to eat every evening. On requesting soya milk for the room in the first occasion it was provided but on the second occasion we were advised they had run out. This is a very popular hotel with a popular restaurant but will lose customers if they don`t consider catering for clients who are vegan
