Enjoyed our Stay so much we extended our stay for two extra days.
From check-in to check-out everything was excellent. Room was specious and super clean. It felt like home. Perfect location. I highly recommend that hotel.
Staff were wonderful. Could not have been more friendly or helpful. Amenities are great and even though we were in an older room it was spacious and comfortable.
I loved the unusual style of the place, staff were extremely helpful. Bed very comfortable, accommodation very roomy.

We stay in the economy room, it was clean but the property is very old and in need of some TLC, however very clean and we were able to walk into the city centre easily.
Superb hotel. Charming helpful staff, wonderful room, great food, fabulous location. A little oasis of calm. Can’t praise it highly enough.

Great place. Thanks for fab upgrade, much appreciated. Room spacious, good facilities, lovely bathroom. Staff very friendly. Buffet breakfast complimentary and variety of options including hot food supplied. Would book again.
My husband, me and our teenage/grown up daughters really enjoyed our two days in a two bedroom apartment. The hotel area was very nice with flowers and Christmas lights. And we had a good dinner and lovely breakfasts at the cosy restaurant.

Nice that rooms are off street in a courtyard. Restaurant has the best leg of lamb I’ve ever tasted.
