A really nice hotel
Pros:

Super, friendly welcome from the staff and throughout our stay.
Within 10 minutes walk of the cathedral.
There was a great Italian just across the road as well.
Really comfortable.

Cons:

There is an ashtray outside the main entrance to the hotel, full of cigarette ends. As non smokers having to walk through the smokers that were around the main entrance wasn't very nice!

Great stay, excellent value
Pros:

Great location close to the train station, but very quiet despite being so central! Staff were friendly on welcome and were able to give us a room a bit earlier so we could relax before we went out later. Excellent value for money.

Cons:

Nothing

Great hotel and great location!
Pros:

Best Premier Inn I’ve ever stayed in the breakfast was top class too.

Cons:

We booked a superior room which was lovely the only but was the staircase climb to the room…we had a lot of heavy luggage and were not as young as we used to be…

Good enough for a short stay
Pros:

Very near the train station, nearby supermarkets. The room itself was clean and comfortable. I slept very well and the blackout curtains were great!

Cons:

Cleaning is on request only. The coffee in the room is cheap / nasty coffee and you’ll need to ask for more anyway as it’s not automatically restocked. I didn’t have the breakfast as at almost €18pppn, it seemed a bit expensive. The staff weren’t rude, but also didn’t seem overly happy or welcoming either.
