A major flaw was that the only location in the room with both a mirror and an electric socket for hairdryer use was limited to a 4w desk lamp; unbelievable ! The room was clean and stylish although there was limited clothes storage and the mattress was uncomfortably hard.

Amazing and Grand!
Stayed with my wife for our anniversary and was upgraded to a large room. The hotel was lovely inside and the building itself felt grand. It was clean and fresh. Breakfast was cooked with attention to detail. The location was perfect for the centre which was a short 2 min stroll away. Very close to cathedral and river walk/resturants/bars. Car park on site. Highly recommend this place!
