Room was updated, very clean and comfortable. We had one night where an alarm went off but after that we really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is walkable to all the old town sights and the Castle. We would stay here again!

Eat early, we hoped to get a pub meal but they stopped serving at 8pm, leaving us with fish and chips in the car. It was fine for us though.
