Simple but clean room. Quiet and close to the old town and river. Staff is very helpful and friendly.
Careful - there is another 'hotel' with a very similar name and close by. Nobody available after 18:00 and you are left on your own to figure it out.
I would definitely stay there again.

We stayed here for a fortnight and really enjoyed our time here. Everything about the hotel was excellent. Our room was very clean and comfortable, the breakfast was excellent too. The hotel is just a short walk from the old town. There is a very modest charge to park your car.

LOCATION & BREAKFAST
I thought the hotel was a bit overpriced for the quality of the room. However, the location can not be beat and the breakfast is absolutely fantastic. I would recommend this hotel to friends and family.

We stayed in a Design double room. They aren't huge but it had lovely decor and bedding, everything you needed. We loved the location perfect for walking or public transport. Easy to get to and from Airport as well. Staff are very friendly.
