I was a bit worried about staying here having read some 'iffy' reviews, but I needn't of. For being a 3 star hotel I thought it was great. Location was perfect, breakfast was good, lovely choice of food. Our room was good and overlooked the cathedral. The bed was very hard so we asked for a mattress topper which they put on for us. It didn't make difference and we still had 3 nights of not sleeping through the night and waking up in pain!! Could also have done with a hairdryer on the room, but requested one and it came really quickly. The lady on reception who checked us in was fabulous and no complaints with any other member of staff. All in all it was a great stay and we would definitely stay again.

Thoroughly enjoyed our couple of days. Location brilliant - with added bonus of very reasonably priced car parking. Staff very helpful and polite. Good breakfast and we also enjoyed dinner at the hotel - which again was reasonably priced along with good bar prices. My only reason for marking it down was the rooms are a little ‘tired’ - especially the bathroom but maybe I’m just nit picking. It didn’t spoil our stay and would recommend.

Enjoyed a four night stay here. Breakfast was great apart from one day they were slow re-filling. Didn't eat in the restaurant in the evening so can't comment. Did use the bar, great service and helpful staff. Room was a bit dated, but clean and well equipped. A good hotel, right in the centre with great access to tourist spots, bars, restaurants and shops. This was our second stay and we would definitely stsy again if visiting the city.

Lovely staff, nice breakfast, great location and easy parking. Decor is a bit tired and bed wasn’t very comfy. They are currently fixing the lift so maybe that’s the start of a refurb. Overall, not sure it was great value for money but a decent place to stay for a night.
