We have stayed a number of times at this hotel and have enjoyed the central location and the old charm of the hotel. It is a nice family run hotel with everything one needs. Many nearby transport options as well as cafes and restaurants.

It was lovely to find that the hotel was family run and actually meeting the family.

There was on street parking nearby and easy check in. The building and interiors were lovely and had real old world charm. Decor was tasteful too. Very convenient to everything we needed to get to in the city and could walk there from the hotel.
