The staff were superb, courteous, efficient and made us very welcome. The location is great, our room was a bit tired, threadbare carpet and tiny bathroom. But it was quiet, and spotless.

The room that I was allocated overlooked roadworks. The noise of drilling & construction was dreadful until early evening and started again early in the morning. They can’t help the roadworks but they should not allocate a 1st floor room directly next to the site!

I didn’t like the money that I paid for parking. Parking available was one of my criteria for choosing this hotel, but never had in my mind to pay 25 pounds for parking . Its a lot of money for parking.. Plus, the hotel not advertised for clients this to known. I checked in their website and it is not a word for parking payment. Very disappointing for a four star hotel !

Lovely hotel, just a few things…

Our room was nice, but really needs a bit of a makeover, especially the bathroom, the shower screen is full of limescale and mould, the same around the bath, window-seal has paint flaked off. Mattress is very soft, I had back ache half way through the night and the pillows are also very soft. The pillows were very stained and only 3 of the pillows had cases on. The nets on the window were ripped in a few places aswell. The hotel is in a fantastic position, breakfast was lovely, car park was full but the castle street car park is a 5 min walk and so much cheaper, only cost £15 from 2pm until 11am
