The hotel is tucked away in a quiet residential area, but still within a short walk to the city center. The breakfast provided was excellent, with a full English cooked to order and a variety of other options. The staff were friendly and attentive, always available to chat and offer assistance. The room was warm, clean, and comfortable, with adjustable heating and extra blankets provided.
