"Staff was friendly and helpful, room was clean and breakfast was great. It was hot when we were visited, but the window didn’t open very wide and there was no fan. It was about a 20 minute walk to the main area with all of the pubs. The staff was very helpful when I left some things behind. They kept it for me and stored it until my son could pick it up."

"Location, location, location: this hotel was in the heart of the city and close to everything. It was 2 minutes from the train station, and everything else was a 5-7 minute walk. The staff was amazing!!!! It was my daughter's birthday, and after mentioning it to them, they decorated our room with brownies, chocolate, and a card while we were out on a day excursion, making her day extra special. They really went above and beyond, and our triple room was huge."
