Beautiful modern hotel in a great location overlooking the river. Massive room with huge bed , nice buffet breakfast and easy to park although £14 for 24 hrs which is not bad really. 5 minute walk to the city centre over the footbridge outside the hotel. We didnt use the spa and pool but it was included in the price which was £96 minus the £50 tesco voucher so great value .
View form our room with the Cathedral in the background. All the even numbered rooms overlook the river.
