The hotel is clean with friendly and warm staff. It's conveniently located near public transportation, and quiet due to its distance from major tourist activities. They could offer a more varied breakfast menu.

The staff where absolutely amazing but the hotel and room where a little tired and well used we arrived at about lunch time when we went for lunch we where told that there is only a limited menu avaliable and because we had our 11 year old daughter with us there was nothing on the limited menu for her so we ordered 3 toasted sandwiches and it came to £35 now i know things have gone up in price but thats well to expensive and we where told thay where frozen so i will not be back there trust me
