6/10 Good

Original room large and clean, issue with fan/generator noise which should stopped at 9.30pm but didn’t, room was changed at 11.00pm to smaller but peaceful room. Astounded that they know about the noise problem but have not found a fix and still charge additional money as the room is large

Birch Hotel Stay

Great hotel and a welcome tour down history. Nice rooms, modern renovations and has everything needed inside rooms. Luggage was carried up to room for me as staircases are quite narrow, but it's part of the old character of hotel and beautifully maintained. Staff were super friendly and helpful. I'd stay here again anytime
