I was staying for a meeting and the arrangements for that were very good. Friendly staff, large room, right in the city centre. Pedestrian area at the front but taxis can access. Don't be put off by the decaying Novotel sign, the building has been refurbished.

Been to this hotel a few times over 15 years, sorry to say the rooms are a little tired. My room door door needed slamming to activate the lock. Bit warm and being city centre didn't get a great sleep outside noise and banging doors. Staff fantastic and breakfast and bar really good
