Pros:

We know the city well so chose this hotel because of its location. Within easy walking distance of the city centre, colleges and shops and on great bus routes with bus stops outside the hotel. We booked a courtyard room which was very quiet and comfortable. A little dated but perfectly serviceable. Great shower.
