Close to everything in the city centre. 10 mins walk. Room spacious, bed very comfy and great facilities. Breakfast great. Staff very helpful and friendly. There's no lift and you can hear the traffic and people but you are warned of this and there are earplugs in the room if you need. I slept fine. Would definitely come back
