We stayed here for two nights with our two young kids. The room was clean, tidy, and in a nice part of town, the restaurant was also tasty. The staff were welcoming, and friendly. We would stay here again!

Stayed with family before Christmas, it was quiet, walking distance from the centre and public transport outside the hotel. Big choice of breakfast and the room we stayed in was big for all of us.
