Nice place to stay in good location
Very friendly staff on reception. Efficient check in, room and bar were good and bed was comfortable. One or two parts could do with some upgrading, but overall a good hotel. Location is great in the centre of the city.

Over Night Xmas Market Stay
Lovely over night stay with the added perk of a cathedral view. Paid extra for a slightly larger room which was worth it. Only negative was online it stated £15 for late checkout but I was charged £20.
Great location especially if you’re going to the Xmas market.

Expensive Stay
Staff friendly, clean room although bathroom needs updating as does the carpet in bar area. Got lucky with the parking to our relief and the close proximity of the hotel to the centre is great. The biggest bug bear of our stay was the price of a bottle of wine at £36.00 that costs £16.00 in Tesco. The cost of the stay was expensive also.

The front of house staff were very good. But the cleaning staff were bad, our room was dirty, especially in the bathroom. The rooms are tired and need updating.
