An excellent three-star hotel, fantastically located. Staff were very welcoming and friendly and really responsive. I had a query at the time of booking which was quickly answered and there was a minor issue with my room which was quickly resolved. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was excellent. Room was well soundproofed - certainly heard no noise from the rooms either side. WIFI speeds were excellent. I had a very comfortable stay and would happily recommend to others.
