This is a great hotel in the city centre close to many drinking and dining options, and within easy walking distance of most of the city's attractions. My small double room was on the 3rd floor at the back of the hotel (away from the street) with a comfortable bed and a good shower over the bath. Excellent breakfast. All the staff I met were friendly and helpful. I would stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay here. However, I listed on the booking it was our anniversary and not much care was taken. The first room was ok but not cleaned properly, with hair and dust left in easy to see areas and the door handle was wabbly. We received an upgrade and the staff were lovely when we brought their attention to this. Unfortunately similar situation, handle on cupboard came off when I opened it, bathroom clean but few hairs that weren’t ours in easy to spot areas. Bed was very comfortable, bar staff fantastic and the girl at reception was lovely. Great staff but think some investment is needed in the bedrooms
