Hotel Belmonte

8/10 Good

"Slightly outdated decor but very clean and tidy. Generous amount of tea & coffee provisions provided. Bathroom in room 3 was a bit cramped and it wasn't possibly to stand up in the shower owing to the low ceiling/staircase. Good value for money, especially considering the relatively last minute timing of my booking. Well located for the city centre and the railway station."
