A beautiful hotel with charm and original fittings. Staff were polite, friendly and extremely helpful. Our room was on the small side for a double, however this was not a problem as we just slept in there and spent all day out and about enjoying the sites and shopping. On our last night we took advantage of a meal in the resturant in the hotel. Wow just wow, the meal was out of this world!!! Definitely hats off to the chef, that has got to be the best steak i have ever tasted. We would certainly stay and eat here again on the very near future!

Clientele appeared to be more in keeping with a Residential Care Home age group and surrounding features of the Hotel were in sync with this era. If you are used to modern contemporary, clean lines and furniture, this Hotel is not for you. Nice breakfast,

A unique hotel.

I requested a room away from the noisy lift but the room was opposite the lift. I have stayed here in the past and the standard of the breakfast is not what it once was. However I do like this hotel and would probably stay here again.

The Rupert had many good points, but there was also a lot that was bad. The staff were excellent. Always friendly and willing to help. The breakfast was also excellent and, once again, the staff were superb. The hotel is ideally placed in the centre of town, and has a lovely historic ambience. The bedroom was always warm. Now the bad. My room was next to a late night beer garden that played very loud music. To be fair, they did move me to a different room, but it made no difference. And they did offer to move me again, but by then I had bought some ear muffs, the type you use when operating loud machinery. They worked, so I decided not to go through the hassle of another move. The toilet didn't flush after MANY attempts. I told reception and they said it was okay, you just need to press the button really hard. You shouldn't have to do that in a 4 star hotel. Eventually, it flushed and would be okay for a day or two, but would then jam again and I would find myself on my hands and knees pressing "really hard". The extraction fan didn't work on day one. A staff member said maintenance would fix it the next day. I was there 11 nights and it was not fixed. The TV was unwatchable for a number of nights 'no signal'. The wi-fi was very hit and miss. Water cold on 1 day. Overall, the main room look jaded and in bad need of an upgrade - e.g. the ancient cheap kettle that took an age to boil. Despite its faults, I would not discount staying there again. Way short of 4 stars, though.
