In the heart of downtown. Excellent hotel that is very clean, room very comfortable, breakfast excellent. loads of eating places and pubs around. Shopping is super close. This is the first time we stayed here in this hotel and it will not be the last time. The staff are super friendly and if you feel peckish, they have food you can order and a full bar as well. Wifi is great and it is very secure and quiet inside the rooms. A great experience.
