This place is ok if nothing else is available.
Pros:

The room was very nice and was in a good location at the hotel.

Cons:

The food at dinner time was only very average. The waiting staff were all young people with no public service skills whatsoever. Weoredered a bottle of wine with dinner and the glasses I was given were disgusting. I gave them back and whatever was done to them only improved them marginally.

Pros:

The central location was ideal for exploring, the bedrooms were tastefully decorated to a high standard with all the items that you would want, nice additional touches of a fan, tea and coffee and biscuits

Cons:

The bedrooms that face onto the main street are noisy but that is due to the location being central and not the hotels fault
