Excellent value, great location and very helpful staff. Sure, the place is ageing and that shows, but it’s clean and adequate. For the price I thought it was excellent and I’d happily stay again.

There is no getting around how old and dingy the room and hallways are. We had read they are renovating this year but there is no sign of that. That said, the rooms were clean enough and the beds were fine. It is cheap, and for us just looking for a place to sleep, in the area we needed to be, it was fine. We’d stay again, but only for a night, just to sleep. We wouldn’t stay if we were going to be spending any time in the rooms.

Our room was a bit dated but honestly it was great for the price (& we were told by the friendly staff that the hotel accommodation is being upgraded soon). The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the shower was hot. We also enjoyed our meal in the bistro.

Stairs to hell,...
The location it is amazing, the room it is shocking, small noise bed, holes on the wall, dirty carpet along the hall,...Better to stay on a, backpackers for that money. Even coffee, was not right, at the bistro. Expensive for what it is. That hotel must be at the same level of the oaks, stamford,...etc...

The rooms are old and disgusting, they look very different to online photo. Currently seeking a full refund as we booked 4 nights. And only stayed one as there was no other accommodation available that night. Staff seemed helpful in processing the refund, not sure if Expedia are going to provide the refund.

All the Staff from Chambermaids,Chefs,Waiters and Management were excellent They could not do enough for you always polite courteous and friendly But unfortunately the accommodation leaves much to be desired The rooms were adequate but the decor,flooring, paintwork shower requires massive refurbishment along with the rest of the building It is basically a 2 star hotel and should be mentioned in your description for people looking to book
