A really lovely stay!
Pros:

We had a really lovely time at this hotel. Everything is spotlessly clean and the staff are friendly. We had a lovely meal on the rooftop terrace and our waiter, Humphrey, looked after us perfectly. We’ll definitely be back!

Cons:

You’re right in the centre of town, so it’s a bit noisy.
