The hotel is in a great location right across the road from the Cathedral and close to bars and restaurants. The rooms are comfortable, but the worn carpet was a downside. The service was excellent with room service and a welcome drink offered. The dining, although including toasted sandwiches, was somewhat limited. Overall, a place worth considering for your stay.
