Bra hotell i centralt läge. Lättåtkomligt med bil
Pros:

Bra rum och sängar, utmärkt frukost utom teet. Hyfsat tyst läge. Inga problem att hitta parkering trots att hotellet inte har egen.

Cons:

Värmen på rummet gick inte att stänga av, vilket är både slösaktigt och dåligt. Tyvärr har hotellet numera bytt från Twinings teer till Lipton, vilket är en stor kvalitetsförsämring.

Alright, but wouldn’t use again
Pros:

Good location for city centre. Clean and good breakfast variety. Rather old and a little run down, but room was of a good size and powerful shower. Wouldn’t go again.

Cons:

The whole hotel needs renewing. Run down. Old electrical lights. Old beds and worn sofa.
