Ok
This hotel was bang on for location. I had a single room which was large, the only issue is that the bed was the smallest single I have ever slept in and I kept thinking I was gonna fall out of it.

Perfect for the BIC
the hotel is in amazing location, brilliant for the BIC. It is an older place and things like carpets and bannisters need a little TLC. The hotel are up front about the night club and bar onsite, but to be fair, it didn't disturb us at all. rook was comfortable. Not our first visit, and wont be our last
