The cleanliness was top-notch, with a well-maintained room and common areas. The hotel facilities were impressive, with an on-site Indian restaurant that provided a wide selection of dishes. The free on-site parking was a real bonus, and the location in a residential suburb close to the town centre was convenient. The staff were very friendly and attentive, making me feel welcome throughout my stay.

Nothing, all was good.

The building is absolutely gorgeous, offering stunning views of the city and the Cathedral. Our room was spacious and comfortable, with a truly enormous bed. The breakfast was excellent, with plenty of options even for vegetarians like us. We also appreciated the convenient parking arrangement, as we were able to leave our car there for the entire duration of our visit. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making our stay even more enjoyable.

Nothing could have been better.

The room was spacious and tastefully decorated, with a stylish and very comfortable bed. The hotel facilities were excellent, and we particularly enjoyed trying the cocktails at the on-site Indian restaurant. The location was ideal, within walking distance of the city centre but in a quiet area with no traffic noise. The staff were extremely helpful, from the manager calling to confirm our arrival time to the exceptional service we received at the restaurant.

For us, it was ideal.
