Brilliant service and in a fantastic area. Quick tram from the station and the everywere in the city is within walking distance. You are close to everything bit also a little away from it so you dont feel overwhelmed as soon as you walk out the door. Staff where always friendly.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Checked in, the only hotel that insisted on cash payment for city tax. Had two filghts of stairs to climb to the smallest hotel room I have ever seen. No assistance offered. "Double" bed hard against the wall, impossible to get out of if you were against the wall. No safe, no drinks facities, no hotel bar. Other rooms had bunk beds. Found somwhere else to stay and checked out. Managed to get the city tax back but that's all. Disgraceful, should no be on your books.
