One night was ok but bedrooms too hot.
Pros:

Location was good for our purposes. We are in the bar for lunch and it was good, and breakfast was great.

Cons:

As a value hotel it was dated but clean and comfortable, which is a positive . But we could not regulate the room temperature and it meant the bedroom was too hot. The windows open onto the main road which was noisy so unfortunately it meant we did not have a good sleep. Family member staying in another room which faced an internal courtyard was able to sleep with the window open with little disturbance.

Frequent visitor to a nice hotel in the heart of the city.
Pros:

Centrally located in the city close to the Cathedral, restaurants and shops. Lovely choice of cooked breakfast and a small selection of continental pastries and cereal. Appreciated there is a separate room for our dog to join us for breakfast. Room was on the ground floor which was appreciated as we had an elderly dog in a buggy with us. Comfortable bed. Had to climb in the bath to shower which was a small challenge as I have arthritic knees. Paid car park conveniently close to the hotel (at time of review, £12 for 24 hours). Have used this hotel many times and will continue to return as it's good value for money in the heart of the city.
