Good location close to attractions, shopping and pubs/restaurants. Modern hotel with facilities you would expect of a Holiday inn express. Good breakfast options. Lively pub or more sedate bar so suits most people. Discounted parking in multi storey carpark about 1 minutes walk away.

Great location

I recently stayed at this hotel and overall had a very pleasant experience. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, which made check-in and the entire stay feel smooth and enjoyable. The room itself was nicely decorated, very clean, and comfortable — everything you’d hope for in a city hotel. The location is also a big plus — very central and convenient for exploring the city, with most attractions and amenities within easy walking distance. The only downside was that my room looked into an internal courtyard where construction or maintenance work was being carried out. Unfortunately, this started quite early, around 8 am, which made for a less-than-peaceful start to the mornings. It would have been helpful to be made aware of this in advance or offered a different room if available. Despite that, I would still consider staying here again — ideally in a room facing away from the courtyard.
