Great location. Exactly where you want to be when visiting for a short trip. The room was great. The onsite parking was also great but be aware that you drive through a pedestrian zone to get there, we panicked a bit.

Good hotel, staff quite blunt but helpful. Breakfast is expensive compared to what is on offer especially for vegetarians. Great location to the city centre but rooms need updating- it feels as though you're going back 20 to 30 years in time!
