Last minute booking and had a single room at the front of the hotel which had a fair bit of road noise. The room was tiny and I know it is an old building but the entire room sloped to one side which meant the bed was also at an angle. The ceilings and doors are also very low which... More

Stayed for one night on business. Location is excellent - right in the centre of the city, five minutes walk from the train station. The building is lovely - clearly historic - and, although the carpeting and decor is a bit tired, the room was clean and the staff were nice and helpful. More

I've stayed at this hotel during a business trip. It looks really cosy from the outside. Although I've booked a single room I was upgraded to a double room. The room was nothing special but nice and spacious. The bathroom looked relatively new. There's this thing in hotel bathrooms that I don't like: showering in the bathtub. Most of the... More

Too many narrow corridors and stairs. I had an upgrade to an executive room, it just provided a larger, more drafty bathroom. End of bath shower which I hate. Cubicles please! Satellite TV, rubbish kept going off signal. People who walk past your room make the room shake because of the floor boards. The only redeeming feature was...urm...erm...sorry can't think... More

I am a great fan of Accor hotels from Sofitel to Ibis but this was our first great disappointment. The hotel was not accessible by car the nearest you could get was 200yards from the entrance so if you had luggage you had to carry it a long way yourself. The executive room looked onto a brick wall and was... More

I stayed at this hotel for two nights this week, the hotel was a lovely mix of old and new and a great central location, upon arrival quite late after a long drive from the South West myself and the student I had with me were tired so decided upon room service. Biggest mistake.. I was greeted by the rudest... More

I had no trouble booking in on my arrival and also no hassles on departure. I did not eat in the Hotel as I was meeting some friends from years ago. I found the receptionist, Kristina, extremely helpful. The room I was in had a bit of a lean to it and a sign to mind your head, which I... More
