    Location is fantastic just a very short walk to to the Minster and city centre. Our room number 18 was great, nice furniture and bed, lovey bathroom great central heating. The breakfasts are very very good with a great variety, and all cooked after you order. What I loved was being served by happy attentive staff, such a nice change from having to serve yourself. This maybe a 3 star hotel but you get a 4-5 star service.
