The room smelled of dampness from the second we entered it until the second we checked out. We booked a family room however, upon arrival and check in, we were given a double room with no extra bed for our 4 year old, despite advising age and booking a family room. We were then given a fold away bed which meant we had to rearrange furniture to make it fit. An actual bed which was part of the room would have been appreciated so as not to feel like an after thought. The curtains were hanging off the rail and were filthy, the windows were filthy. The carpet was extremely frayed in places. The mattress was solid and very uncomfortable. It is very dated which is of course to be expected given the age of the hotel, however improvements could definitely be made. On the plus side, a tram stop is right outside, the area was quiet which was great!

The hotel was very grand. Nice and comfortable furniture. Having to pay for a meal in the evening was a bit expensive and the same menu each night. The beds were comfortable and the staff were very friendly. The breakfast and evening meal were very nice and weren't too filling which is good.

One night stay

The hotel was nice and clean. It was extremely busy and booking in at reception took a long while on the Saturday evening. There weren't enough staff to provide the service you would expect and as we had tickets booked for the theatre, we left and returned after our night out. We enjoyed the breakfast which was hot and tasty.
