Excellent staff, nice clean room. Just one small point, as 1st time visitors to the hotel, it would have been helpful on arrival at breakfast if the staff taking your room number would check if you have had breakfast at the hotel before so could explain re self service and ordering of hot drinks etc.

Nice welcome but very noisy room on floor 1. Also outside road noise. Ordered balloons for arrival but originally quoted £15 and was charged £16.50 so must be a fee. Went down overnight. Had to find nearest parking due to very heavy traffic and doesn’t qualify for discounted price. Nice spacious room and a nice hotel.

Holly

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Room was very spacious however looking worn in places (bath panel,missing button on armchair,stains on carpet,box at end of bed the metal broken) also missing little touches that would leave a lasting impression e.g decor in the room a bit bland and only milk and water in mini fridge which was disappointing. heating vents in the room very loud and can hear noise from other rooms. No hot water when we arrived which meant we couldn’t shower/get ready for our reservation although it was promptly fixed within an hour it was still an inconvenience and meant we were rushing. It’s a shame because the hotel has potential, lobby and bar tastefully decorated and play on the history of the building giving a luxury feeling, just didn’t seem to carry the theme into the rooms which would make this hotel stand out from others.
