I thought the hotel building was an excellent example of Victorian hospitality, however, there were parts with were beginning to look a little worn, some carpets were wearing quite badly, but overall we loved the size of the room and the lovely bed.

The rooms are old and VERY noisy, we could hear the music all night because the door doesn’t fit the frame. While sitting in the bar/lounge area, without asking, the lady behind the bar switched the television next to our seats to the loudest level possible, chasing almost all guest to the far end of the area. Hydro must stand for Water Damage: the floor part to the bathroom moved while walking over - you could feel which plank was affected by moisture -

Friendly staff on reception and in the restaurant. The food was tasty at the evening meal and breakfast in the restaurant. Bedroom was of a fair size and had all the amenities you needed, however mattress was very soft and uncomfortable. We both woke up with aching backs the next morning. Carpet needs replacing on stairs as is pretty worn in places and dangerous.

Breakfast first class, staff really good but there can be a language barrier unfortunately. Bar menu very good but very expensive as the drinks are!! We went to book into the restaurant for our anniversary meal, the staff kindly let us see the menu for Saturday night, but there was very little choice and unfortunately no prices were displayed on the menu, the bar menu had more choice. The entertainment on the Saturday night was meant to start at 8pm, we wrnt down at 7.30pm to get a goid

The Hydro is a grand looking building from the outside, but inside looks quite tired and in desperate need of an overhaul. The bedroom we had felt very dated and aside from stained carpets, the woodwork has been badly painted and left many of the sash & case windows painted shut. We only stayed for one night so not a huge issue, but the hotel definitely needs revamped. Personally, for the money we paid, we wouldn't book it again, or recommend it to others.
