The hotel is truly beautiful. Staff very friendly n efficient. Requested early check in with no problems as had understand 4 start. Only issue was room very very warm-air conditioning unit in the room- however very noisy & prevented sleep, therefore utilised very little, consequently little sleep had. C not fault anything else, centrally located n truly beautiful time had with family. Guess just one of those things unfortunately.

Was an overnight stay after evening theatre trip. Ideal location for both theatre and town. Used local restaurant so unable to comment on hotel dining but the breakfast was excellent. Well presented hotel with lots of history. Friendly staff. Would most certainly use again.

I am a bit hard of hearing and was only able to understand some of what the receptionist said. All her vowels were “ah”. Room smelled of tobacco smoke. Shower didn’t seem to work. Nothing was said about breakfast, so we didn’t eat but an apple in the morning. Nice to have the tea and chocolate to drink at that point.

Room was small, stuffy and very noisy late into and then again at 5:50 with people stomping about outside. Shower head was loose and floppy, walls so thin I could hear neighbours pee. Breakfast was £26 so didn't even consider it. Wouldn't use again.

Staff lovely and friendly - excellent. Had bar food which was ok. Bedroom in courtyard was nice but bathroom was disgusting- mould and hair in shower stall, brown marks on sink. I did tell the receptionist on checkout and suggested they close the room and gut the bathroom!

Stayed here to attend show at the Queens Theatre. Location could not have been better. Did not book inclusive breakfast rate as there are many excellent cafes very close the the hotel where you can get a superb full English breakfast for half the price the hotel charges. Booked a standard room which was clean, quiet and comfortable.

This was such a pleasant surprise. The staff are excellent, and even though it is an old building they have done really well on modernising the rooms. The only this i could say negative was there is a damp, musty smell in tbe hall. This would not put me off coming back. Plus the food was exceptional and even though I only ordered a chicken burger to my room. It was the best I'd ever had. Breakfast was fab also!

Very welcoming and polite staff. A walk in shower for ease rather than a shower in the bath. The head of the shower needs to be replaced so it flows effectively. The breakfast on Thursday morning was warm. (8.30) My preference is for my food to be hot. Maybe check the heating trays. Overall a wonderful venue and welcoming staff. Thank you
