I appreciated the central location near the cathedral. The staff were helpful and friendly. My room included a fridge, a Dyson fan, and an iron with an ironing board. Breakfast provided good cooked choices, croissants, juice, fruit, cereal, and yogurt.

The room was across the road and up a steep staircase. The bathroom was chilly due to the towel rail being turned off. My bedside light was broken and not working.

The location near the cathedral is quite good. The staff is helpful and offer a good service. The food in the pub is amazing, I think. The pub is ideal for a short stay.

The car park was very packed and I had to block other cars. The exterior of the hotel looks very shabby. The room I got was quite dark, you see, it really need a lamp.
