"Very centrally located but quiet hotel. Comfy bed, good room temperature control and great shower. Lovely, relaxed and a bit quirky social spaces. Very good breakfast - lots of choice and with a brunch offer once the breakfast service was complete. Late check out until 2pm was very much appreciated. Check-in staff were knowledgeable and cheerful. Breakfast staff were on-hand for ordering extras and kept the food buffet topped-up. I really rate this hotel - would definitely stay again."
