Pleasant hotel with friendly helpful staff. Our Ryanair plane was 3 hours late but I contacted hotel and they assured me all would be well. Checked in at 1:00am. Hotel was comfortable, friendly, breakfast was fine. The decor looked a bit "tired" but small worry in a good hotel. Location is good, not too far from station but also close to the centre

I stayed here in summer time, amazing spot in a central location. Comfortable beds, yes it's an older hotel, but it's also an older city. Really friendly staff and good breakfast w a peak at the canal. Supermarket walking distance, train station, and of course all the other things you are coming here for.
