Definitely recommend this place. We will definitely stay here again."

"Great hotel with a warm atmosphere and very convenient location. Close to tram, buses, and trains. Hotel was clean and the staff were friendly. Only a 10/15 minute walk from the city centre but there’s plenty going on within 5 mins of the hotel too. Recommend the Garrison museum which is almost next door. I am very glad I chose this hotel!"
