Location great, restaurant great. Staff were over and above in their attitude and demeanour.
Pros:

Location & staff

Cons:

Lack of storage space in the room, ie we believe a chest of drawers or bedside tables with drawers is needed.

Pros:

Fantastic location . Restaurant attached was great . Comfortable bed and right in the heart of the city .

Cons:

Our room was closest side to the road and we are light sleepers so very little sleep which is ashame as everything else was great . I think the back of the building would have been quieter .
