Very basic, run down & out dated. Someone else hair in the shower - stains on soft furnishings. No atmosphere. Beautiful building drastically lacking some TLC great location - fine for an overnight stay if visiting for an event, and spending no time in the hotel. Wouldn’t pay more than £40 a night - stay at the nearby premier inn

Really lovely building with friendly helpful staff and excellent value for money. With a deep clean (particularly in the bathroom) and some renovation to bits of tired infrastructure (chipped furniture, old carpet), this could be really excellent and well worth twice the current price.

We managed to check in early and get the car parked at the front of the hotel, thanks to the friendly staff. Easy to find, and in a good location, being a short walk from the city centre restaurants and pubs. A quiet location however, with a comfortable, clean room. The entrance hall and staircase are magnificent Breakfast next day was fine, and excellent value for the price.

A heritage hotel with interesting history as a bank and courthouse, amazing staircase and overlooked by the cathedral, walk to restaurants in city centre. Quiet location but limited metered on street parking. Cosy rooms, comfortable and good quality beds. Cooked breakfast but would have liked to see fresh juices and fruit as healthy alternatives. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Would definitely stay again.

We were attracted by the appearance of the property on Expedia and the reasonable price. But when we arrived, after check-in time, the person at the desk disappeared for several minutes to find out if the room was ready. We reached the room and were disappointed. It was tiny, with no space to put a suitcase down except on the bed. Thus it was too small to be a single, never mind a double. The bathroom was clean and pleasant, but there were chipped tiles. More importantly, the safe didn't work, which I reported, but the person at the desk said that nothing could be done as they didn't have the master key. Did this mean it would not work in perpetuity? The lobby area and staircase were very elegant, but a bit dark and exceedingly quiet. Overall, a handsome building, but a very disappointing room.
