fantastic stay

The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. breakfast offered a great selection of hot dishes. the location was excellent. The hotel is situated in a quiet area, which i appreciated. reserved parking was available and very convenient (a must, given how busy the area gets).
the room i had was quite small. there was only room for one bedside table and lamp on one side. i had to balance my water on the floor (this was a bit inconvenient).

Victorian Charm with Modern Comfort

vibrant interiorcomfy bedsmall room
The hotel is in a beautiful Victorian-style building. I liked the modern, vibrant interior design. Our room featured a mix of classic charm and contemporary comfort. The bed was firm and comfy, which I found important.
The hotel room was very small. There was only space for one bedside table and lamp. I had to balance my water on the carpet at night.

The breakfast offered a fantastic variety. Staff members were helpful and friendly. The hotel also offered a pub across the road, convenient for a drink after a long day.
The room felt small. There was only space for one bedside table on one side of the bed. I had to balance my water on the floor. There was also no reading light, so I had to use the main light.
