    Lovely location very quiet just on the edge of the city centre, quick and easy check in and out. Very nice room with a large ensuite clean with all amenities. I had a very pleasant night stay at the Elgano. Highly recommend!

    Great service, as always. The location is one of the best in town for access to parks, the city, and decent pubs. The restaurant was very busy on this Tuesday night. Got to mean something.
