Great Location

Great location, right near the train station. Room and bathroom were clean and large. One draw back is the heavy smells coming from a soap shop next door.

Traveler's tip

Prince’s Street is under construction and will be for a while.

Great Location

Hotel is in a great location but you pay for it, our room was on the street and it was noisy. Staff was young and a bit surly.The room was very clean and a nice bathroom. It was a bit stuffy and we could not find a control so had to open a window.

Traveler's tip on getting the most out of your stay

Take one of the on/off double decker busses around the city. You get to see alot in one day if your time is short. We liked the one with a commintator not the ear phones.
