Gem of a hotel in the middle of town
We loved this hotel (with the exception of no lifts, so carrying luggage from parking lot to room was over 40 stairs). We opted to just pull what we needed from luggage as we couldn't lift ourselves. Hotel is situated right in town near shopping and castle. We loved the location and the hotel. Staff was extremely friendly and accommocating.

Very central. Friendly helpful staff. Our room was above a very noisy busy bar which didn’t end until 12.30 am. Not conducive to a restful evening or sleep. It was a Saturday night, people should enjoy themselves. However we could have been allocated a room away from the bar noise.

Check-in and out was very straightforward, room good size, bed comfortable. All staff were very pleasant, with the exception of one in the bar area, who dismissed our comment about the amount of sediment at the bottom of a small wine bottle as "that's the way it is here". Sorry, not our experience with similar size bottles.
