8/10 Very good! (792 reviews)
Neat place to stay with a group of families as the kids enjoyed the trampoline. Nice and close to shops and places to eat. Property is a little dated and could do with a good thorough clean but was fine for us and we would stay again.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (705 reviews)
Great location in the city centre. Close to everything.
The lady on reception was very helpful and accommodating with all of our many questions. The cleaning staff were also very nice. The rooms are very clean, a good size with a comfortable bed.
We really didn’t have much time to enjoy the facilities but we did check out the rooftop bar. Very nice.
Since we were leaving early in the morning before the breakfast opened, the hotel delivered a cold boxed meal to us the night before.
Highly recommend this hotel!
