Came back to this hotel as I had stayed here numerous times many years ago. Hotel is still a great little find within walking distance from town and public transport. It was a shame they had removed the reception bar which was previously available but none the less the staff were warm and friendly.

Fast internet, friendly staff, nearby shops, a desk in the room, and free (but very slow) laundry facilities. The TVs unfortunately seem to have screen mirroring disabled. Overall, this was a great hotel and very convenient for my needs.
