Excellent location in city centre. Easy undercover parking. Fabric generally looking rather tired. Comfortable, nontheless. Ideal as a stopover when travelling to the south coast from the north.

Staff were friendly and helpful but this hotel is long overdue for renewal and upgrade. The location is excellent. Parking is somewhat limited and you could get blocked in.

Sijainti erinomainen. Maisema katedraalille unohtumaton. Huone tilava. Henkilökunta ystävällistä, mutta neljä tähteä on ehkä liikaa tälle hotellille esimerkiksi huoneissa ei ollut safety boxia. Aamiaisen kohdalla jäi toivomisen varaa, esimerkiksi kananmunat kylmiä ja kahvi loppui kesken jne.
