Would stay here again!
Pros:

We chose it mainly for the very central location. Liked the fact it was a historic building. Breakfast was included and excellent.

Cons:

Tiny high up window! Noise of the karaoke on the Saturday, though we had been warned about it when booking. Place felt in need of modernisation.
