    “Characterful building, much bigger than it appears from the outside. Room was spacious, modern and very clean. Likewise the bathroom with quality toiletries, robes and slippers, underfloor heating, quiet extraction system. There’s a large garden area above the neighbouring cinema. The bar area is cozy and was staffed by two lovely individuals. ALL of the staff seemed genuinely pleasant, friendly and helpful. Just a few minutes’ walk to the railway station and walking distance to the central sights and cultural attractions.”

  • Lovely hotel, let down with the facilities.

    “Wow! We had a king suite overlooking the city. When you opened our door you stepped into the bar lounge- this was great. David the bellman was super informative and Jordan at the desk was great. The kicker were the drams sent to our room, nice touch”
