Great, quiet location
Pros:

The hotel was located in a quiet area just a short walk from the train station and the main centre of the city. The staff here were friendly and helpful. We turned up early as we wanted to store our bags for the afternoon while we went and did a tour, when we got there we were advised our room was ready and allowed us to check-in early, which was fantastic.
The room was quite big and had everything we needed. Breakfast was delicious.

Cons:

Just one minor issue was the control panel for adjusting the air-con, the touch screen had to be pressed firmly and sometimes more than once before it registered changes.
