Room was a good size. General property was in a good state, pu lic areas clean, fresh and pleasant. Within 20 minutes walk of the cathedral and majority of restaurants/pubs. Spa / pool was underwhelming.

Fab location

Excellent staff. Very comfortable. Good choice for breakfast. Very clean. Very good location for the centre. Although quite busy no trouble parking - reasonable rate too. Only issue we had was we had no hot water. They had a burst hot water pipe on our first morning, although I appreciate nothing could be done whilst repairs going on we received no notification or updates about this
