"Queens Place exceeded our expectations. The rooms aren't particularly spacious but the whole place was extremely clean. All the staff were very friendly and organised our check-in so that my son and grandson would be in the same 'apartment' as us. Each apartment had a fully equipped kitchen where we could cook and relax. I'm not sure I could stay here for more than a couple of nights, based on the size of the room, but I would definitely book again if in the area. Oh, and the location was very central."
