United KingdomThe hotel’s staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. They upgraded us as due to Covid the hotel was empty. They were very accommodating and able to attend all of our requests (schedule dinners, give us recommendations on what to see, etc). The hotel is a bit old, but the value for money is worth it. Location is awesome!

The location is perfect, everything is almost within walking distance. There's a very nice park just in front of the hotel. The place is very nice, the rooms are super comfy.
