Pros:

Room was small but well presented and very clean.

Cons:

The toilet area was too small to really contain a sink, shower and the toilet basin as the door opened into the toilet also.

Excellent location right in the city center.
Pros:

Location is excellent and the breakfast is great.

Cons:

I used an American based Credit Card and the hotel initially had an issued processing the payment. At one point I offered to pay on arrival if there was still an issue. The hotel response, which I have never had before, we don't accept payment on arrival. I tried to pay again and this time it went through. We couldn't park close to unload the luggage but we made it work.
