Excellent Stay!

ideal locationhelpful staffsevere dust
The location is AMAZING! It is an ideal base for visiting the city, nicely situated near the cathedral and castle. I used the hotel's car park, about 100 meters away. The hotel was clean and the staff was helpful.
The room was lovely but was on the third floor where builders worked. The carpet had polythene on it. there was dust, rubble, paint pots, and rollers all over the landing. I noticed the stairs were blocked by scaffolding.
