Good value, convenient hotel
I went for the no-frills option which, as a solo traveller, was ideal. Host was friendly and very helpful. Good guidance on navigating the town. Great location. Food nice although a long wait, Maybe have an option to choose from the menu in advance so as to give kitchen warning. Would recommend.

It was in a convenient location. Easy check in and breakfast left in the room. Small fridge was useful. A general update (redec) of the common areas and room 5 would be useful.

Clock man's visit.
This was a real find, being in the town, local to the railway station and to my appointment in St Mary's Hill. i needed only a small space and had that. I was out a lot over two days so the room was good for sleeping, breakfasting and overnight storage. All mod cons. Shower excellent. The internal stairs and corridors of living in the exceptionally old building pleased me. I'd stay again.
