Decent, comfortable city centre hotel that does the job without any great frills.
Pros:

The hotel is reasonably priced for a city centre hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was spacious and the ensuite bathroom was bright and modern.

Cons:

The decor and bedclothes were a bit drab and dated. There were building works going on in the hotel during our stay, which might have been nice to know about in advance. There was a lot of building dust in our corridor and some loud noises early in the morning.
