The worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Dirty and I cannot believe a hotel that doesn’t serve breakfast, restaurant closed and no beer. It is awful and I cannot imagine any reason for anyone to stay here.

A really old hoteĺ sprawling over many levels. Very quirky and full of character. Very friendly staff. The rooms are very spacious and clean with a nice comfy bed. Tea/coffee in the room. The tv is a bit small but its enough for the room. A very reasonable priced hotel. They no longer serve breakfast. I would have gladly paid extra for a breakfast. I will definitely stay here again

No Breakfast available during my stay because hotel owner had closed kitchen and made staff redundant. General decor and condition of bedrooms and public areas dated and in need of TLC. Not a place I would recommend to friends and family in its current state.

Very dilapidated, needs huge investment to bring it up to any sort of standard. Threadbare carpets, corridors smell of drains. Staff obviously embarrassed/demoralised. Such a shame as it could be a magnificent building.
