The Tower Hotel, by Thistle
"I can’t fault this hotel for the location - it’s the reason we have stayed here twice this year. But honestly, the whole hotel needs ripping out and starting again to bring it up to date. There are limited plugs in all rooms. None of them have any plugs near the bed. There are NO USB sockets anywhere. ..."

"Very nice and very clean hotel in a convenient location. Close to many restaurants and access to a number of busses and trains. The staff were wonderful and very helpful. The superior single room I stayed in was small as compared to US hotel rooms, but was very comfortable."
