Excellent position, clean modern rooms and good restaurant
Pros:

Fantastic position for walking to Salamanca, wharf and the city. Good restaurant downstairs (with guest discount) and my favourite bakery right across the road!
Room was very clean (if a little small), same with bathroom, nice and modern, very comfy bed. Air-con and opening windows were good.
Staff were all lovely, helpful and friendly.
Free on-site parking was perfect.

Cons:

Really nothing negative. Our room wasn't ready on arrival at 2.30pm but that wasn't a big deal for us, just had a coffee while we waited.
