It was closed for refurbishment for a while, but has now reopened in 2011. It's comfortable and central, and rooms with en suite facilities cost around £20 per night. Back to top

I personally prefer the layout of the Lonely Planets, but others prefer the Rough Guides. Both provide excellent practical information and historical background. You won't regret buying one!
