4/10 Poor

Convenient location, checkin efficient but a dared property with dated family room, poor bathroom, mould effected sealent. The room needed completely updating and renovating. My continental breakfast was an apple, one croissant and an open yogurt....very poor. We won't be going back to the hotel again.

Midweek break

Midweek break 3 nights. Although the parking was free, it was very tight and double parked and every morning had to wait about 15 minutes to get the car in front moved. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very limited and at a set time 8.30 no flexibility and had to be ordered in advance. Bar prices were very reasonable. The room though was extremely tired, The windows didn't work and could not be opened properly, decor was poor, badly in need of a repaint and would also suspect structural problems looking at the way the window was twisted. Ensuite was clean and fully functional. Generally the hotel was Okay, but rooms need major refurbishment.
David, 3-night trip

4/10 Poor

Room very dated,needs decorating. Windowsill and curtains all mouldy. Hairs in the bed. Kettle covered in scale. Bathroom so small you hit your head on the radiator as you sit down. Noisy from 630am

Okay

Desk service was great, staff are lovely. Room was okay, bathroom and shower were nice. Room went from being really warm to cold and back quite quickly. Furnishing was okay but room felt quite cheapish with the floor being really creaky. Worth the price still.
Benjamin, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Good stay

Nice hotel and staff. Building needs renovating - during our stay it was very windy and the roof was nearly blown off. Couldn’t sleep overnight because of the rumbling noise of the dilapidated roof.
Csaba, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Dennis, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Our car was blocked in (by an unidentified other resident) for nearly two hours in the morning meaning we missed the recreational activity we had planned. The front desk should have registered all guests' cars on arrival as double parking is always likely there.
Richard, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice hotel with character in a very convenient location. Beautifully decorated for Christmas in the public areas. Some minor issues regarding breakfast which were discussed with staff and should be easily rectified. Would be happy to stay here again.
