Room is lovely!! Had a big bathroom with a good bath, and the room was clean and had a good aesthetic. The staff are very kind and welcoming. Doors and reception is open all night which was really useful. They do take £100 upon checking in for safety or something which I’m waiting to get back. But other than that it was really nice, also had a bar and breakfast but we didn’t get a chance to check that out. View and area was great too.

Genuinely this hotel is a gem of a find. The staff we met were warm, friendly, welcoming and professional. The decor as you go in is wonderful as was the room and the room + bathroom were spotlessly clean. Fantastic location and despite being central was perfectly quiet inside. Will definitely be going back. Brilliant in every respect.

Staff were friendly, good decor throughout and very nice location close to lots of attractions. We did have a problem with the mattress being busted but to be fair to the staff when told about it in the morning they did say the room would blocked until a new mattress arrived so they were responsive. Unfortunately there was also a terrible smell in the bathroom (old urinal) which could be more difficult to sort given the age of the building - but a thorough flushing/cleaning is definitely needed.
