What people say
The Hotel is spotlessly clean. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. It is very close to the city center with lots of bars and restaurants on the way in. I would recommend The Mercat Gastropub for the tastiest food and drink and very friendly staff. The Hotel breakfast is superb and will definitely set you up for a day of site seeing. I will stay here again when I return. Excellent. Everything was spotless. Very carefully chosen quietly elegant decor. Expensive modern bathroom fittings and loads of hot water.. Surprising since the hotel was very cheap!! Excellent room heating controls on a very cold day..no problems. Proprietor friendly and very helpful re parking (a 15 minute walk away).all reviews »

We had to spent one night in another hotel a couple doors further down the road, but the room was cosy and the breakfast also nice.Slight problem with ensuite heating but proprietor was quick to rectify this. car parking facilities were told that car parking free on sundays in city so left it for 4 hours to get new ticket old ticket ran out at 135pm got parking ticket at 145pm so beware if you park in morrison st car park !!. could tend to be a little road noisey. Possibly needed freshing up in the public area...hallway, otherwise no. the lack of parking. Stairs. In the bathroom the only toiletries was a bar of soap. Not the hotel but the reservation service:Our reservation was never received by the hotel even thought you confirmed it with me so when we arrived, they were not aware of our reservation. We were lucky that they had 2 room the first night but the 2nd we had to all four share one room. I was not happy that they did not get the reservation from you.The room was cool when we arrived, but it warmed up later in the day. Only the concern I had was that how we gona get out in case of fire as our room was in the basement and the windows had the bars.
