Mattress and pillows very hard. Did not get a good nights sleep. It’s a shame as it’s a nice hotel.
Hotel is conveniently situated for transport, shops and restaurants which are all on its door step. Staff are helpful and friendly. We slept very well eventhough our room was overlooking the street. Overall a very good experience.
This property had rather poor internet service. The staff was very helpful in “resetting” the system but the service was no better. Another hotel guest had similar complaints confirming that it wasn’t my devices. Difficult for tourists and business guests.

Accommodating hotel, let me change my dates at last minute due to travel issues. Lobely, friendly staff. Nice breakfast. Hotel clean but in need of a refurb/update. Wifi signal very poor in the rooms
