Granus

I booked this hotel for attending a conference up the road - it was much better value for money than the other hotels in the city centre although the centre is walkable from here. The room i was staying in has recently undergone a functional modernisation (epitomized by the clothes cupboard that had no door) and the result is a comfortable & clean room with just enough space to sleep & shower. Breakfast is handled by the proprietors greeting you with offerings of hot and cold drinks + an egg (should you so want it). Otherwise it is a pretty decent spread of cold continental.

My only gripe - the windows in my room at the front of the hotel do nothing to mitigate the sounds of the streets below so i had to put with with being woken at 5 am as chugging diesels await a traffic light change at the end of the street.

Well cared for hotel with friendly owners and a sense of style. An excellent breakfast, parking as promised and a most comfortable bed.

Alas, in the hot weather, our small front-facing double room (Nr21) remained exceedingly hot despite the room's fan and, in the night, street noise (emergency vehicles) and above all a party opposite and people talking loudly and shouting around on the pavement meant that we hardly slept. A great pity as this hotel is excellently run. The hotel was also a fair walk from the city centre.
