No buses come right into the centre of the old town but it is a few minutes walk from the cathedral and the start of the main shopping street. That walk is lined with coffee shops and restaurants.Bathroom
- Towels – 2 large, 2 small, 2 face although some days the numbers went up as they excellent maid would leave extras even though we placed our bath towels on the self-controlled heated towel rail.
- Gilchrist & Soames toiletries – plenty of shower/bath gel, shampoo/conditioner, body lotions and soap. Plus shower hat, tissues and vanity pack. Again the maid left us extras half way through the tip to ensure we didn't run out.
- A good hand-held shower head and very long bath.
- Plenty of open storage, stool and hairdryer.
Power points - plenty including each bedside, hallway (outside bathroom), near full length mirror and desk 1 on each bedside.Stocked fridge with a little room to keep you own drinks cold.No kettle or coffee machine although available on request for €5 per day.Lighting – plenty of options and a wide window looking out to the street.StorageTwo double wardrobes with a few hangers but staff bought up the 9 extra wooden ones I requested immediately.Drawers – one in the desk and a small one in one wardrobe. Shelves in both wardrobes.Mirrors – in the right places including one in the well-lit bathroom, full length by the door and one around the bar area.Two comfortable chairs by the window and deskBig soft bed with two duvets and plenty of spare blankets and pillows.Your choice of air con or a large opening window.Hotel serviceWe were helped at out check-in with luggage (despite arriving 8 hours late at past 1am). Staff took our luggage up and helpful showed us where everything was in the room. Very welcome, especially at the late hour.There are several comfortable areas to sit in reception or the lounges and we enjoyed a hotel chocolate one night in the quiet bar area .Breakfast – excellent. Hot dishes, pastries, breads, cereals, juices and everything else you expect. Coffee or tea pots bought to your table and everything kept super clean and tidy.Hotel websiteShare your views @RickieWrites and see my travel blog here
