It was fine. Don’t expect anything too fancy, but the price is reflective of the quality of the property. They need to be fairer with their check-in deadline of 10pm. I arrived 15 minutes before this and the front desk staff member said she was about to lock up!

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Staff are lovely and friendly but the overall condition of the place is seriously lacking. Also charging guests £10 to use the building site at the premises to park their cars is just penny pinching. No hair conditioner provided so couldn’t wash my hair. Really wasn’t worth the £175 for the night if I’m honest. I get it’s an old building but I’ve stayed at old hotels in the past and they’ve been kept in better condition. Creaky bed, creaky floorboards and when husband used the shower, it wouldn’t turn off. Like I say, the staff are really lovely but I won’t be back in a hurry.

I enjoyed the stay, particularly use of a drcent sized pool and a steam room. Cooked breakfast was excellent. Staff were warm and welcoming. The hotel itself is a little dated and could do with a sympathetic makeover of the decor. It is located about 25 - 30 minutes walk to the city centre, but there is a bus service from just opposite.
