The hotel was very short staffed although the staff were very pleasant and helpful. Our room had not been cleaned and we had to complain about this and long wait and lack of service at breakfast. I have sent 5 emails of complaint but not had the courtesy of a response to any of them. It’s a shame as we were regular guests at this hotel.

Pleased I ignored other reviews... Yes, the floors creak and slope but that is the character of an old building. Room was very clean and well presented. Plenty of free parking (register in reception). Some noise from street, but didn't disturb as am a heavy sleeper - if a light sleeper ask for a room not overlooking the city.

We booked a room whilst working in the area, having been before earlier in the year. The room was comfortable enough, but the bathroom was much more modern and updated. Staff were friendly and service was good, but unfortunately, the parking really let the site down. There were lots of contractors and vans blocking various areas, and as the parking is also used as a public car park with JustPark, it made it busier. We had to ask around what time people were going and ask them to swap and block us in, just to get parked, so it was far from ideal. It would have taken less time and effort to drive away from the area and stay at a corporate chain, which is likely what we would do next time, as it removed all convenience this time. If parking is sorted, we would happily return.

A creaking floor in an old building is quaint but the whole of the floor creaks, bedroom corridor is is too much. The room had a basic clean but the toilet needs descaling. It's not nice to use a toilet like this. The carpets are threadbare to the point our room had a big rip in the carpet which is a trip hazard that I had daily. Staff are pleasant. Parking good. Bar void of people, atmosphere and everything. The biggest bug bare was no evening food. Outside it boasts about food and grill. Reality, no evening dining

The property was in very poor condition. Rooms very, very basic. Showers not working properly. Dirty worn carpets ..wallpaper falling off the wall. Breakfast extremely basic. Dirty entrance to rooms with cigarette buts everywhere. Very poor for expensive price. Will definitely not be returning.

Wouldn’t Stay again.

Blood stain on the sheets, no evening meals, things falling from the ceiling in the breakfast area, no tea out for breakfast, no pastries like advertised and very limited fruit options. Staff only doing their best as it only seemed to be one person to cover the desk and breakfast or the desk and the bar at any one time.

Very outdated, room was dusty, stuffy and stunk of cigarettes. Bed was so uncomfortable, didn’t sleep at all. Mattress so soft might as well be non existent. Just overall poor. Positives: very central, car park included.

Disappointed - Avoid

What a disappointment. If you’re expecting what you see in the photos advertised…don’t. Arrived and the first room we were allocated was grim. - The toilet didn’t flush - The toilet was dirty, the kind of dirty where it doesn’t look like it’s been cleaned properly for some time and simple deep clean would have done the job - Sink also covered in old grime, again easily sorted with a deep clean - Carpet that was snagged and dirty - Bed - one of its legs looked to be holding on for dear life - No loo roll - Cobwebs - Grubby old yellowing shower curtain - General stains and splashes on wall - No shower gel etc just one small bar or soap to share - Complimentary tray (tea, coffee, water etc) nothing like the photo. Asked for a change of room due to none flushing toilet and the customer service was terrible. General body language and the tone of the conversation made us feel very uncomfortable and like we were very much an inconvenience. Second room marginally better, but still no loo roll, stains on walls, poor quality mattress and dirty toilet again. We were meant to be staying two nights but only did one and booked ourself into another local hotel at our cost. We just didn’t feel comfortable, particularly safe or welcome. Says it has a restaurant, it doesn’t and the whole place was just tired and feels like it’s on its way out. When I used the toilet in the main reception, AGAIN no toilet roll.
