Nice, clean and quiet rooms. Location is almost perfect, close to railway station, shopping and walking distance to old town/castle. Breakfast ok but in a noisy & small room.

Good location and quite clean. A bit of noise through the walls though.
Breakfast was ok but somewhat limited in selection. I got it at 54 gbp so i cannot complain.
