    The breakfast was good with plenty of variety and they had gluten free options for me which was great. The hotel was the perfect location for walking to all the main sightseeing attractions.

    Room cluttered by the extra bed which was unfolded even though there were only two of us in the room. Bed too small for two people. High price for this type of establishment. The price went from £599 to £359 in just one day.
