Great location and comfy guesthouse

We were greeted by lovely staff upon arrival. The place is a bit dated but nice and warm and clean. The room was a good size but there were a few cob webs hanging from the ceiling. Other than that a really pleasant stay. A 10/15 min flat walk in to the City walls. We got an uber taxi back later in the evening which cost £4.30. Would stay here again

Comfortable, but needs an update

This hotel is in a good location not too far from the city centre, the hotel is a bit dated but the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The bathroom we had was again spacious but needs some modernisation along with other parts of the hotel. The staff are friendly and helpful and the bar and restaurant area are nice, we didn't have a meal other than breakfast which was nice and the choice is reasonable. We only stayed one night and bed was comfortable enough for that.

Very friendly convenient hotel

Super friendly family run hotel, with parking and a 20 minute walk into centre. It is dated, but good breakfast buffet / cooked options . The light bite menu was good value, but i found the curry too salty and not such good value.

A lovely independent hotel worth a visit.

I had a pleasant one night stay. It was clean and tidy, the shower was a little feeble but it did the job! Breakfast was very nice and the staff always willing to help. Would definitely stay again.
