8/10 Good
"Location was perfect for exploring the City. View from restaurant was amazing. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Rooms were spacious and beds comfortable. The only negative was that the bathroom was very cold, no heated towel rail or anything to take the chill off. Overall a great stay. Would recommend."
