Good for the price
10 min drive to the new town. Bus stop outside the hotel or £10 uber ride. Friendly staff, nice bar and nice city view room. Only downfalls were the breakfast room could have been cleaner - there were breadcrumbs all over the floor around our table from previous guests. Also for a double/twin room an extra chair in the room would have been nice. Overall though it's a good hotel for the price and I would stay again :)

Friendly and comfortable hotel
Very friendly staff throughout our stay. The breakfast had a good variety of items and all was a good quality. I found the bed a bit hard. We were in room 406 and there a was a bit of an odour from drain of shower. All in all it was a good experience.
