Generally good. Convenient location, helpful staff, nice pool. The bathroom needs an uplift however - lots of black mould on the silicon around the shower detracts from an otherwise clean and comfortable room.

Hotel itself & stay beautiful. We ordered a meal at the bar we booked in for 8.30 the 4 of us my husbands fish and chips came an hour after our main meal was eaten. It was a disgrace. We talked to the manager who gave us a tree drink. We should never have been charged for the meal being an hour late ruined our night unfortunately.

The hotel is conveniently located in the middle of town and the facilities, including a pool, sauna and steam, are more than adequate. The choice at breakfast was really good and we also had an evening meal in the restaurant which was delicious. The staff were friendly and polite. The only downside was the bed as the mattress was not great and so I didn't get a good night's sleep. The lack of support in the mattress meant we were constantly rolling into the middle of the bed. It's a shame because otherwise I'd heartily recommend the hotel.

This was a great location, within walking distance to city centre with all the shopping and pubs. The staff were always very friendly and courteous. A star removed because it seemed like the room had seen better days - some stains in the carpet that haven't been able to be removed. Not a deal breaker, but not pristine.

This hotel is in a wonderful location. And the staff at the front were super helpful and very friendly. However, I had booked and paid for a "Deluxe Double room", and ended up with 3 beds, none of which were very comfortable. But the front desk staff actually more than made up for it with just their overall pleasant nature and recommendations for the city.
