We were surprised how lovely this old hotel is, was expecting not that great but we had an excellent time and the hotel is lovely! The reception staff were very helpful and polite and check in/out was quick and simple! The guys behind the bar were both cheerful and chatted with us. Our family room consisted of 2 bedrooms, a double bed and twin beds. It was very warm and toasty. (only one complaint we were woken up around 7am by a loud noise outside, maybe a generator or something?) Breakfast was pretty decent too. Location is perfect for everything. We definitely would stay again too!

The bar closed very early, the overall condition of the building is a little run down, our headboard wasn’t fixed to the wall there were several maintenance issues, overall for the price it was an average hotel. The staff were friendly and the bedroom was clean if a little dated

Got kicked out of the hotel after arriving back from a meal and a couple of drinks went back to hotel to finish our night to listen to the live singer, my partner and I wasn’t drunk but the manager had refused to serve my partner drinks and said we’ve had enough when I went over to speak to him he would not discuss the situation with me and instead of talking to me about it and give me a proper reason why you wouldn’t save any drinks to us he called the police. when they arrived five minutes later, feed police vans, two police cars and 15 offices. after talking to them all night and calmly they didn’t seem there was a problem show me went back to our room. The officers went. The manager had only gone into our room when we were out and locked the bathroom door so we could not use the facilities in our room I went back down to reception and told them the bathroom door was locked for some reason and we could not go into bathroom they called the police again then us to leave couldn’t get my car cause I’ve been drinking so we went off to find another hotel for the night which we got one which is 10 times better than the one we got kicked out of. I want a complete refund. cause we didn’t end up staying the night.

The outside of the hotel was impressive, and in its day would have been an outstanding place to stay. But that day wasn't in September 2025. Like any old establishment that looks good from the outside on the inside it has grown tired and weary looking. Such a big building and some 150 rooms to offer. The staff were friendly and helpful, but the lift near the reception area was broken, and had been broken for a number of days. The staff maintenance lift was the alternative. At least it worked. The long corridor on the second floor leading to the allocated bedroom, was a mishmash of skirting board badly joined together with liberal dollops of polyfiller between the joints. A skilled job it was not. I can only assume the colour of the corridor walls was chosen on price, or by somebody who really shouldn't have been allowed to use that green by the company’s design office. Make sure you are not allocated a bedroom with the whine of the heating (or hot water) system coming from below in an inner courtyard of the hotel. A closed window only muffled the unpleasant frequency, at least it ended around midnight. The bad news was that it fired up again around six in the morning, with an evermore annoying whine, well I suppose everyone was glad of the hot water for a shower. If you are a six-hour sleeper, the timings would work fine. Food was plentiful, both for the evening meal and breakfast. Though the coffee from the machine was poor. Stay there again?... never say never...
