Clean room, great views of the cathedral, comfy bed, excellent blackout curtains for a good night sleep. But noisy plumbing kept waking us up - it needs some updating. Good place to stay for one night.

Superb location. Really good customer service from the staff and a lovely bar and restaurant area. Other part of the hotel could do with refreshing. Our room was spacious with a view of the cathedral. Comfortable bed. The furniture in the room is showing it's age but this did not bother us as we were out and about most of the time. I would definitely stay there again.

The room was large and comfortable with great views of the cathedral. The parking area was small but we managed to get a space. The bathroom could have done with a deep clean and the cooked breakfast was limited for a vegetarian. Overall I would stay again.
