Satisfactory Stay
central location easy access helpful staff small room compact shower few outlets
The location of this hotel suited me greatly. It was close to the cathedral, this meant easy access for sightseeing. The staff was quite helpful . They always tried to accommodate my requests with a smile.
The room I stayed in was a bit small, but I did have a nice view of the cathedral. The shower was also quite compact. This made it a little difficult to move around. There were no outlets near the bed. This was inconvenient when I needed to charge my phone overnight.

wonderful stay near cathedral
superb location friendly staff quiet garden
the location was superb, its very central. the staff was friendly and helpful. the breakfast had a full vegan option, i like this. it was good eating it in the quiet garden, i thought the option was excellent.
the room was small. hanging space inside the open wardrobe suffered because of the security box. the washroom was small, and the shower unit felt cramped. i thought the toiletries provided were disappointing.
