Not too much to comment on a single overnight stay, did not require breakfast. Knocked 1 star off service not because there was anything wrong but just seems odd to say it was excellent when my only interaction consisted if being issued with a key. Staff were polite and friendly for this short interaction

Lovely view, nice staff. Great central location. Room was a bit tired, but spotlessly clean It was, sadly, very cold. Even with the heater on full blast it was chilly. I would certainly stay here again

All was basically fine. There are a few things you need to be aware of: the WC handle in our room was loose and functioned poorly; the shower screen seal on the fixed pane seems non existent, flooding the floor when the shower is used, the WC was not really clean, superficially so but filthy on the left hand side, not readily seen when looking directly down at it. The room was clean and warm, the bed fantastic, very comfortable and spacious. We would have preferred to not have to go to reception for additional tea bags, only one each! Also, maybe I’m old fashioned, but not having the bed made when staying at a hotel does seem odd??

Hotel bar closed at 22:30 - on NEW YEAR’S EVE! No heating on in room on arrival despite it being near zero temperatures. No extra blanket in room - had to scrounge one from reception. Woken up by fireworks at 4:20 in the morning (okay that probably not the hotel’s fault).

Clean room, great views of the cathedral, comfy bed, excellent blackout curtains for a good night sleep. But noisy plumbing kept waking us up - it needs some updating. Good place to stay for one night.

Definite case of needing a refurbishment, bed was very comfortable and clean, furniture needs renewal, bath/shower was clean but toilet not been cleaned in a long while, dirt very evident behind sink and pedestal, not what we expected to be evident after paying quite a lot. Hopefully by the time we revisit in 12 months, they will have carried out some refurbishment and deep cleaning
