Well located with free parking so didn't need to use the car at all during our stay. Everything we wanted to do and see was within walking distance. The place needs refurbishment throughout the stairways and in particular, the bathroom of room 10

Staff were pleasant and helpful. My single room was clean, though quite basic and lacking a comfortable chair (as opposed to the desk chair). Very warm with lots of hot water. Slightly shabby net curtains. Common parts (stairs and corridors) in need of refurbishment. Principle reason for staying here is the location is convenient for me
