I noted the lively bar scene with late hours and themed nights, which might be a draw-or a drawback, given noise levels.

loud music short bed
the breakfast was really tasty.
The noise was unbelievable. The music from the pub downstairs was so loud that sleep was impossible until around 3 am! the bed also proved inadequate. It was too short for my partner, just fabulous.

great location friendly staff fresh fruit worn carpet sticky tables dark bar
the location of the hotel is great. it made exploring so easy. we found the staff very friendly and helpful.. they were always ready to assist. breakfast was also a highlight, especially the fresh fruit selection.
i found some aspects needing attention. the carpets seemed a little worn. i noticed sticky tables in the bar area, not ideal. also, i felt the bar area was a bit dark and could use better lighting.
