Would Not Return
I was extremely disappointed with this stay. I had booked a room, which when we arrived I overheard was not available (due to some sort of service taking place). I felt we were then put in what I can only describe as a ‘backup room’. This was for my boyfriend’s birthday and so I wanted somewhere nice to stay. There was hardly any lighting in our room except a spotlight and 2 lamps. There was also no soap to wash our hands in the bathroom, 1 towel to shower with and mould in the bathroom on the ceiling. Overall, I wouldn’t be returning and wouldn’t particularly recommend to others

Excellent little hotel with a historic aesthetic that does go against it sometimes. We had stayed at the hotel, having booked a smaller room (standard double room) for several days and honestly, it wasnt the best. The window wouldnt close and we had to stuff it with a towel, the room itself was cramped, lumpy flooring and the shower was poor and the bedding thin. We had a pretty bad night and decided to ask about getting another blanket for the bed and lo and behold we had been offered to move rooms which we decidided to take. This led to us being upgraded to a much larger room with heating, a massive bed and enough space to run around. The staff, to their credit, were fantastic, accomodating, wark and friendly at all times and were apologetic about the room before. After that, it was a fantastic stay and would highly recommend. That said, a lot of the reviews on here will complain about the drafty windows and cold room and i think its because its an old building. If anyone stays here, if its for a night, get the wee room and youll be fine, especially if it isnt at -1C that night. If its for any more days, get the larger rooms and youll love it. (Oh, also ordering food to the hotel is allowed and for any pokemon go players, theres like 5 stops and 3 gyms surrounding the hotel. Go team mystic)

We were terribly disappointed to be kept all night from the room next door having a room party. I contacted reception at 3:30am and 05:00am who did ask the guest to quieten down, which they did for ten minutes then the music went back on. We literally had no sleep the entire night. The radiator wasn't working so had a plug in heater. No hand tissues in the bathroom. Cleanliness was poor.
