The location of the hotel is excellent for exploring the Old Town. The room was very clean, a little noisy at night, you are above a pub. (The hotel do provide ear plugs!) Room size was cozy but with everything we needed. Staff were great. Breakfast next door was yummy!. Will see definitely be back.

Fantastic location. Desk staff friendly and very helpful. “Snug” room was very tiny. Lift only went to 1st floor and you walked up steps from there. The hotel itself was pretty average, but it It was more affordable than other hotels in area, so I’d consider it again based primarily on location.
