Great location central to the train station and many attractions. It’s clear they maintain the rooms well including a fresh coat of paint, which you don’t always see with older hotels like this one (usually the paint ends up quite grubby) the breakfast is excellent as well

Enjoyed our 3 night stay, had a room with a view of the river bridges and minster. 15 minutes tops walk from the station to the hotel, so handy, same to walk to the centre of the city, lots of choices of food and bars in the evening. Breakfast was really enjoyable and the staff were on top of organisation and maintaining the food on offer, we'd happily return, thank you
