The hot food menu selection was rathe calorific! Could have healthier choices, such poached eggs. Staff were very good and dealt well with a disturbing incident from another guest.

The location of the hotel is excellent for exploring the Old Town. The room was very clean, a little noisy at night, you are above a pub. (The hotel do provide ear plugs!) Room size was cozy but with everything we needed. Staff were great. Breakfast next door was yummy!. Will see definitely be back.
