Great location
"Good location - nice bar and good amenities. We didn’t use them but we looked at the pool and gym - both were great. Nice Bar and excellent breakfast. Kind of pricey for breakfast but worth it if you like to start the day with a meal."

"Comfortable stay and a good view from the castle facing room. The room had no AC cooling as it is rare for the city temperature to go up like it did this June. The hotel does provide a table fan and it does cool off after 8 pm Overall a good stay with a good variety in breakfast"

Eat early, we hoped to get a pub meal but they stopped serving at 8pm, leaving us with fish and chips in the car. It was fine for us though.
