The old building was smashing
The cold room

A charming historic hotel in a fantastic location, full of character and old-world elegance. We loved the unique atmosphere, the beautiful traditional wooden bed and the feeling of stepping back in time. It was wonderful to stay in a place with such a rich history, where Charles Dickens himself once stayed.
The only small area for improvement would be the cleanliness and overall presentation, which could have been a little better. We understand the charm of staying in an old historic building, but a little more attention to these details would have made the experience even more enjoyable. Nevertheless, we chose to focus on the hotel’s unique character and historic charm.

Spectacular location for getting around the city centre. The bed was super comfy and the water pressure in the shower was great, we had no issues with hot water. The staff was super helpful and also allowed us to leave our backpacks on our check out day while we explored some more.
It does get very loud at night with pub goers, you’re also right next door to the cathedral that started chiming very early in the morning. The TV in the room is tiny and quite outdated.

Amazing characterful property.
Room was cold, no heating till requested. No hot water in the morning. No batteries in the tv remote. Bathroom extractor fan didn’t work. One of the two bathroom lights didn’t work. Cobwebs in the window. Holes in the carpet. Bath side panel coming off.
