The location was central close to the cathedral. The room was spacious clean and well appointed. The shower and mattress were great. A great breakfast choice existed.
The food quality at the restaurant was awful. The lamb was fatty and not served hot. Some wines on the wine list were not available substitutions were offered. i would have preferred an enjoyable meal.

the staff were good AND efficient. our room was well placed. it was comfortably furnished and wonderfully peaceful. breakfast offered a good range of options and i liked the cooked and continental choices.
the bathroom had not been cleaned properly unfortunately. the sanitary bin was full from a previous guest and it smelt really bad. the room itself was dirty also. there were clumps of long hair on the carpet, i didn't like that.
