9/10 Wonderful! (748 reviews)
"Lovely clean hotel in a very central area. Staff were helpful and friendly. Breakfasts were good and free drinks in the lobby were a bonus. Room was spotless but very small, a bit of a squash even though it was just myself and my son. Would recommend and would stay again."
