Only stayed one night and room did exactly what I needed. It was small, cosy and clean but no windows can’t be quite claustrophobic so wouldn’t do it for more than one night. The team were all helpful and welcoming!

This hotel is right in the city centre and close to all the shops. The room was not large but storage space under the bed means all luggage can be stowed there. Tiny bathroom but very good shower. Would definitely stay here again.
