Old style hotel

Lovely old hotel, a little miscommunication by the staff. Booked breakfast when checking in but last morning stay all breakfast put away but Lovely Anna to the rescue as was told we not having breakfast even though we booked and paid, Anna brought it all out as had cleared the restaurant and we had a nice breakfast. Rooms could do with usb outlets in plug sockets. Very old world but comfortable and dont forget to turn heating down on radiator like we did was a sauna. The road is quite busy and noisy. But ok

Great location and comfy guesthouse

We were greeted by lovely staff upon arrival. The place is a bit dated but nice and warm and clean. The room was a good size but there were a few cob webs hanging from the ceiling. Other than that a really pleasant stay. A 10/15 min flat walk in to the City walls. We got an uber taxi back later in the evening which cost £4.30. Would stay here again

Comfortable, but needs an update

This hotel is in a good location not too far from the city centre, the hotel is a bit dated but the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The bathroom we had was again spacious but needs some modernisation along with other parts of the hotel. The staff are friendly and helpful and the bar and restaurant area are nice, we didn't have a meal other than breakfast which was nice and the choice is reasonable. We only stayed one night and bed was comfortable enough for that.

Super friendly family run hotel, with parking and a 20 minute walk into centre. It is dated, but good breakfast buffet / cooked options . The light bite menu was good value, but i found the curry too salty and not such good value.
