Top City Centre Hotel Reviews

Galtres Lodge Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is the sweetest and most endearing spot. The building itself has so many charming old quirks, like many stairs, exposed beams, antique furniture. I loved the location right in the thick of things, though probably not the quietest area if that's a concern. There were biscuits with our in room coffee, the staff were so friendly and accommodating and the breakfast is the best value and size we have ever had on our travels. Highly recommend if you don't require any accessibility accommodations in lieu of stairs!"
