Second time I have stayed in this hotel situated very centrally in the town. I hope it prospers and can reclaim some of the area on the ground floor which is now vacant but looks as if it once was part of the hotel

Friendly staff and smooth check in. The location is excellent and you can walk everywhere. The street below is noisy and we had to shut the windows despite the heat.

The hotel has lots of history and is in the perfect location for everything in the city centre. Our room was small, hot and noisy with the window open (front of the hotel above the main entrance). Ask for rooms at the back of the hotel for a quieter night.

The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious, the beds a little soft for me but thats personal preference. The breakfast was good. The hotel is within walking distance of the train stations which was excellent.
