Great centrally located hotel
Nice hotel in the square, centrally located well appointed.
Friendly staff.
Nice building, clean comfy hotel room.
There is apparently new and old part of the hotel. My room was in the new part.
TIP: Park in the square at the front of the hotel for £2 overnight.
The hotels own car park at the back is £15!

Comfortable stay
Nice comfortable stay. Shower wasn’t great pressure wise, and was a fixed setting (couldn’t move the shower head) due to the configuration of the shower set up also not ideal for anyone over 5’10 (room number 406) but not a bad a stay for the money . Didn’t have breakfast so cannot comment on the food.

A few days away
This is a wonderful hotel. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is spotlessly clean. Our room is in need of redecorating after what looks like an old damp issue from a water leak outside the bathroom but didn’t cause us any issues. The hotel is in a very good location and we would recommend it to anyone.

Perfect but Parking charge excessive
Everything was perfect until landed with a £60 bill for parking for 2 days. This was not noted in any of the constant emails sent out by the hotel.

The hotel was good and service friendly. However we had booming bass music until midnight. When checking out reception told us it was a Christmas party and would be loud at that end of the building. Excellent location.

Disappointing
Disappointing. Asked for a quiet room, was put next to the lift which was up and down all night. Finally cracked at midnight and insisted I was moved. Corridoor smelt unpleasant. Parking on site was £15! Whereas on the square opposite it was £2. Rooms small. Breakfast was good though and staff pleasant
