Hotel is in a great location, clean and the rooms were nice sized and remodeled. Bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was really nice. The front staff were very pleasant and helpful. There was an issue with the toilet running after flushing.
We had breakfast at the hotel restaurant one morning. The food was good but the waitress could have been more pleasant.

Modern hotel in a quiet location. Great if you have a car but might find it a bit far a walk if you don't.
Highly recommended.

Overall good stay at The Mayfair. It's a about a 20min walk to city centre, but there are a number of bus services there. Also, many tour operators (if traveling for leisure) pick up from the hotel. Clean and housekeeping is good.
