Stayed here in April, rooms were excellent, well maintained and very clean. Staff were very helpful even to the point of posting keys to my home address that I had left behind. Will definitely go back as great value for money and so central to shops and bars.

Moreover, the staff is very friendly and helpful. If you have a question about what to visit and where to have a... More
