The hotel itself is housed in one of the city's typical sandstone buildings and boasts a number of highlights. 

The building has been renovated to meet conventional and comfortable hotel standards.
It also has its own pub, which serves local beer and whiskey specialities as well as cocktails and long drinks of all kinds, and a spacious courtyard with comfortable seating - ideal meeting places for our guests to relax with cold drinks after an eventful day on their feet ... or just to warm up for the evening pub crawl.
