Central Stay with Great Music

central location clean room walk-in shower coffee machine
The central location proved great. Our room, a Superior Double or Twin Room City View, was super clean and well-decorated. I especially appreciated the walk-in shower, important for me. A coffee machine in the room added convenience (it reminded me of a home from home).
The music from the pub downstairs was noticeable in the room until midnight. This made it somewhat difficult to fall asleep early.
Service
9/10
The staff provided helpful directions to nearby restaurants. On arrival, staff showed me to my room and explained how to reserve a table for dinner, as it gets busy, especially at weekends.
Dining
8/10
Dinner reservations guaranteed us a good seat. The live bands provided great music. A lot of singing and toe tapping happened. (The atmosphere was great!).

Excellent City Center Stay!

large bed helpful staff great selection
The room was spacious. it had a large, comfortable bed and thick, fluffy towels. The staff was helpful, especially Nick, were really good during check-in and check-out. I enjoyed the great selection of coffee, water, and nibbles. They were essential for a quick power-up and were frequently restocked.
The bass from the pub downstairs could be heard until quite late, even with the fan on.

The live music downstairs was lots of fun. A broad menu and a good selection of drinks on draught are available. I enjoyed the great dinner and live performances in the music club downstairs. The atmosphere was fantastic.
