Hotel room was amazing, bed was most comfortable I've ever stayed in. Felt like I was cocooned in a luxury. Only negative would be no room service which I feel these days is unheard off for a hotel of this standard

A lovely place to stay and very central. Friendly staff and a convenient location. Lovely cooked breakfast. The shower was a bit dated and there were no radiators but there was an electrical radiator. The room itself was of good quality. Would definately stay here again.
