Great place

Pros: We liked how close to the center it was. We didn't mind the traffic as we already live on a busy road options for an iron and mini fridge and friendly staff. Cons: No option for breakfast

The City Hotel

Pros: Near city centre. Able to walk over bridge and up into market place, to cathedral etc quickly. No need of a car. Room was comfortable, clean, well appointed, en suite, plenty of towels. Pleasant welcoming staff. Nice bar. Generous toiletries in room and courtesy tray. Nice big telly. Lamps etc all worked. Packet of Ear plugs (!) on courtest tray but it was quiet the nights I stayed! Leaflet that Karaoke on Friday nights, so might have needed them then! Bus stop nearby if needed transport, plus park and ride bus to get up into steep town. Good taxi contact too. Cons: No lift if disabled.
