The rooms were nice enough for a budget hotel but the toilet did not flush, we did not have flannels nor -any mini toiletries you expect to find in a hotel. However, comfy bed and friendly staff!

Tired
Fantastic location easy to walk to all the attractions. Unfortunately accommodation quite basic, and our family room was tired, tatty and a bit grubby although the beds were clean and comfortable and the room was very spacious with a separate bunk bedded room for the kids which was perfect. Plastic tea and coffee cups in our room were not great! Again at breakfast!!??

Rooms were basic and functional - served a purpose but didn’t go the extra mile. Internal doors were quite heavy and banged a lot behind you and the funny maze of steps made for an interesting trip back to your room!

Short visit
Quick flying visit for me so only needed a comfortable quiet room but I got upgraded to a lovely large room. Only downside was it was on the front on the building and traffic was noisy. There was also no soap so I had to use the complimentary shower gel as soap. Staff I encountered were nice especially on check in.

The staff are brilliant at this hotel. Very helpful, polite and friendly. It’s an old building but has been decorated in a modern style suited to it. It’s bright and tastefully done. The public areas are very clean. The breakfast area is in the conservatory, which is very nice. The full English was hot and cooked well. The down side, the scrambled eggs tasted a bit powdery. The bedrooms are tastefully decorated, clean and are a good size but are starting to look abit tired. The carpet showed old stains. The bathroom was very disappointing, cracked tiles on the floor repaired with sealant, black mould sealant round the sink and shower area. The window’s need replacing as the wood is starting to rot. The bed was extremely comfortable. Tea/coffee facilities are in the room. It could do with electrical sockets by the bed. The hotel is in a good location, not too close to the shops but in easy walking distance. Despite the negatives I would stay here again for one or two nights but no longer unless the bathrooms were sorted out. We were with other people who had better rooms and bathrooms than me.

Some staff were nice some not so much. The room was small but thats fine. All the walls were scuffed, carpet had stains on it the grout in the bathroom was black. The shower was clap cold. I messed around with it for half hour and it was still freezing. There was also no toilet brush The milk for the coffee was also off The iron shorted and burnt my clothes The breakfast was okay. The friends who i was staying with said the dinner was nice too. The parking situation is awful. They should do permits or something. I think thats it all covered. There are better hotels near by. This one is old and tired and needs a full scale revamp. Dont go for jt just because it is the cheapest!

Generally our stay was a good experience. We were disappointed with the general condition of the room, the paintwork was very sad we had no charging facility for the Toothbrush, no surface to put a Toilet Bag, no Coffee Table.
