This small, sweet hotel right next door to the cathedral is a lovely place to stay. It’s a bit quirky; there’s no elevator & the top rooms are up quite a few stairs. But my room was big and pretty, and the (included) breakfast was delicious. My room had a shared bath, but it was right next door, spotlessly clean, & only shared with one other room – really no problem. The staff is extremely nice and helpful – on my last afternoon, as I waited for a taxi, the fellow at the desk made me tea. I totally enjoyed staying here.

The hotel is located right in the city centre so it's great for sightseeing. Our room (en-suite) was of reasonable size for a long weekend. For a longer stay one would have wanted more cupboard and drawer space. The staff were very nice and we appreciated the free bottles of water by the reception. The continental breakfast delivered to the room was of good quality and plentiful. The only downside was the noise coming from the street below, especially on a hot summer night when one wants to keep the window open. Luckily the pubs close to the hotel closed at 11pm after which it was more tranquil.

Very cozy room, old building with uneven floors, right on the street next door to the Cathedral and close to everything, no air conditioning but a fan kept things cool, excellent staff at check-in, warned about possible overnight noise that didn’t exist, was offered a quiet room if desired, excellent breakfast provided by complimentary room service. Highly recommend

Little Gem

Hotel is perfectly located. Views of the cathedral from some of the rooms are SPECTACULAR. The building is ancient and quirky but beautifully kept up and spotless. Plenty of bathrooms for rooms that share them. Friendly front desk. Continental breakfast, which is included, is great. If you are looking for something that feels historic and more like a B&B with charm rather than a hotel — and don’t have mobility issues — don’t stay anywhere else.

This charming historic building has been skilfully adapted to create a hotel full of character. Apart from weak Wi-Fi in our room during a busy period, everything was excellent and the breakfast was outstanding.
