The staff were great - very helpful and polite. The location of the hotel was perfect transport walk into the city centre.

I was greeted by a friendly owner/receptionist. Check in was easy. The room was spotless and bed comfortable. Breakfast was simple but tasty. The only slight down side was weak shower pressure, but that was made up for by a deep bath.
