Another great stay at the Palace. Easy check-in and our room was clean and for a compact room, it was spacious and light. The hotel has been going through a programme of refurbishment and it look really good and the public areas and corridors are smart and renewed. Will be back again.

Last minute booking. Furniture in the room was a little dated but 5 stars for a very comfortable bed, amazing bathroom with great shower. Lovely staff who were friendly and could not do enough for us. Loved the extra touches - packets of fudge in the room, decent tea, bottled water and good biscuits. Decent breakfast. Loved the old world grandeur of the building. Would recommend this hotel and we will be back. Shout out to The olive tree restaurant - amazing food
