This very nice hotel was recommended by another member here on the forum. It was right up the street from the Hoe, which is a fantastic green space that overlooks the sea, and within walking distance of the Barbican, the historic city center. It’s family owned, and is in a tall gorgeous Victorian building. There was a small parking area in the back of the hotel, which is first come first served, but I never had any problem finding a space. And if it is full, the hotel gives you a voucher for on-street parking. I paid £272 for 4 nights.
There is also a lounge, where you can relax and order a drink (or two). A lovely breakfast was included (buffet and cooked to order) and the service was excellent. It's close to many sites, cafes and restaurants. I really enjoyed my stay here and would definitely come back.
