The National Hotel

Great location

Friendly staff lovely room roof top bar was fun and food delicious

Bit over priced for what it is

Room was big and spacious and bed very comfortable

No opening windows

The room furnishing is nice, looks clean, it’s spacious with many windows and the bathroom has a bright, airy feeling. The location is convenient. Nice art in the hallways.

It felt more like a pub that happens to have accommodation, rather than a hotel. I was there on Fri and Sat night. There was rock music playing till midnight downstairs at the pub, and loud drunkards hanging out at the hotel ground floor and first floor. Made me feel unsafe. The lift has a horrible raw metal smell. I was asked to sign a pre-checkin form and one of the clauses was that my belongings in the room are my own responsibility, which made me feel unsafe, as if there would be potential theft or break-ins. Also when I was there for check-in, the reception was not open and I had to get the pub staff to call the hotel manager.
