Lovely decor - mix of old and modern - and a great vibe in the bar and lounge. Couldn’t be more central. Dinner in the restaurant was delicious and not madly priced. Our room was comfortable and well decorated. Shower was powerful. Slightly smelly drains, and having a room at the front on a Saturday night with single glazed windows meant we heard the delights of many couples rowing in the streets. Overall a great place at a reasonable price.
