Nice small hotel in the middle of the city. The room had aircondition, fridge and a tv. Only small negative was no elevator and 40 stairs, but that wasn't that major of an issue. The shower kept turning off and on the cold water during thw shower, but again no major issue.

Pros - Very clean, air con excellent, staff superb and very central indeed! Lovely toiletries provided. Cons - Can hear outside noise but this was expected being so central and in a busy high street. Shower was very powerful and filled tray but it didn't cause an issue for us. Overall a good stay at this hotel.
