    Not much noise from the street outside at night. There was not a single spot of dirt in the room or bathroom. The location was perfect, right in the middle of all things I wanted to see. Also very good that the hotel was so close to the train...

    Very close to the train station and short walk to the old city. Breakfast was around 14 GBP and it was excellent but was a bit hard to find a place to sit, there is no proper breakfast room, instead they use the lobby.

    Our second time in this hotel. Location is great and we love old historical buildings. The double room was very big, the beds were excellent. Service in this hotel excellent. Did not have breakfast as we had to leave before it

    Great location with lots of sights, restaurants, shopping and bars close by. The room I had was very spacious and the bed is super comfy. The transport options within a 5 minute walk is super helpful.
