Pros:

Close to the centre of town. Good restaurant.

Cons:

Rooms were perhaps rather small. Don't really like having the bed against the wall meaning harder for one side to get out of bed

Due to the noise we won’t stay again. A shame because the hotel was nice
Pros:

The hotel was lovely

Cons:

The noise from the trains was bad. We were told there were limited trains but trains ran till about 2am and started early morning. The bells were ringing and trains were blowing whistles. This made staying at the hotel a No for the future

check room type (and size). Book direct with hotel!
Cons:

The Executive room was very disappointing. I have never stayed in such a small/cramped space unfortunately (one side of bed is up against the wall!)... and I had really high hopes for the Hotel. Also, no usb port (a very simple/helpful touch).
