Fantastic place to stay! The front desk staff could not have been more friendly, helpful, and informative. We absolutely adored our stay there, and I can’t wait to return. Try to get room 17. It’s beautiful, and like traveling back in time to another century. The bathroom was fit for royalty.
Beautiful and relaxing court yard. Great for having a drink and visiting with great people.

Room was ok, staff was excellent abut the beds were very uncomfortable and lumpy. Also, it’s very close to a very loud night club so there is music playing until 3am on weekends. It’s an older building so you definitely hear your neighbors. Cute cafe but they don’t serve dinner anymore.

Location of the hotel was perfect. Everything was a short walk to the cathedral, shopping, market place and Elizabeth gardens. We parked in the short term car park on Brown street and the hotel provided a parking card for £6 a night which is reasonable. The also provided a fan as it was hot. Missing is a mini fridge. That would have been nice to keep our drinks cold.

I thought it was such an interesting hotel, obviously steeped in history, which is captured well in its decor and design. The look and feel of it is warm and inviting. The flooring on the second floor seems a bit weak, but other than that, everything was fine. The bed was smaller than what we're used to, but comfortable, the bathroom clean and the temperature pleasant with the window cracked. The front desk staff were very helpful when we needed something or had questions about getting around the city and sight-seeing. We only wished we'd been able to grab a fast, affordable continental breakfast - even just a pastry - before we headed out the door. Would like to stay there again someday!
