Perfect city centre hotel.
Pros:

Really central location, couldn’t have asked for a better base to explore the city. The room was snug, has room for everything I needed, but very comfortable. Room was clean and the heating warmed everything up very quickly in the morning. The staff were very friendly!

Cons:

The telly above the bed was a little large! That may just be my preference though.

Not too bad.
Cons:

The was a rat in the wall cavity that kept me awake for 30 mins - just once . Incredibly loud chewing. This is an old building so you will get these problems but that obviously needs sorting.
