Excellent location and great value
Pros:

The room was clean and modern, and the bathroom had been renovated recently. The location was handy to everything including our car hire depot. Excellent value for money, and the French restaurant on the ground floor is open all day and for dinner. There is also a gym which is handy. Highly recommended.

Cons:

Pillows all hard. But that's the same in every hotel unfortunately.

Pros:

Room was much larger than i expected. Bed and chairs very comfortable. Coffee machine was a great bonus.

Cons:

The windows were very thin (yes, it is an old building) so when the pubs/clubs nearby shut the noise was terrible - i was only on the 2nd floor, maybe it isnt as bad higher up. Wardrobe was very small for the size of the room and crammed with safe, iron, hairdryer, robes making it difficult to use easily.
