I didnt stsy at the hotel which I am very disappointed because I was looking forward.to some time away.from the place I am living. Due to having Fibromyalgia and peripheral neuropathy I was too fatigued and in too much pain to travel. I really needed this break but it was not to be. If I had had the right support from my GP and the people I live with then I wouldnt be in this state and having a miserable christmas and a up and coming miserable new year. Also, I am out of pocket because the hotel booking is non refundable unless they are willing to reinburse me under the circumstances.

The hotel is spotless and has a great history. It’s perfectly located right in the middle of the city centre, directly in front of the castle. We really enjoyed our stay and it will be our first and only choice next time.

The staff are all great, but the lift was broken which made it a bit of a fuss trying to haul a baby and suitcases down the stairs. Thats the only reason why we deducted a star because it wasnt fixed for the 3 days we were there. Otherwise, really enjoyed the stay and would be back again!

First of all the lift was OOD. Although they offdered to take for me there was a huge queue and an overworked bloke who i couldnt add any pressure to, especially needing bag asap. Headboard fell down almost catching back kf my head, would of been more fuming if it was my child. Room was boiling hot, fan on winows open, then the noise. Yes its a city but a hotel of this status should have long term solutions. Beds were so uncomfortable my child asked to go home which is what we did at 1am. The room was outdated, window ropes broken. Heated towel rack not working, lights were a mission to even go for a wee at night as they all work dofferent things. Great to joke about but not at midnight. The list could go on. Fully expect a refund as im disappointed ive not been contacted since i stormed out the hotel last night when i requested i be called. I remained calm but sterm of my annoyance but to be ignored has really frustrated me. We had ambitions to come back and try your suites one day but since then plans have gone
