The Wenns Chop & Ale House

Super friendly and helpful , particularly storing 2 bikes

All excellent

This is an aparthotel that also has double rooms. I stayed in a room. It was large, very clean and the bed was comfortable. There was a bath tub in the bedroom, and also a separate shower room and toilet, but a tiny basin with not enough room to rest even a small toilet bag. The shower head worked but leaked. The power cable to the room TV had disconnected and was impossible to reconnect without tools. Although I enjoyed an excellent dinner at the restaurant, it does not serve breakfast during the week - which means going out for breakfast. That was a minor irritation, though. The reason I would not go back (even though the location is good - opposite the Minster and near the Guildhall) was noise. I was at the back of the building. I heard the music from the restaurant, but far worse was the whine from an extractor fan or air-conditioning unit which continued until 11pm and started up again before 7am. Closing the windows might have muffled the sound, but we were in a June heatwave. There is no on-site parking, but I travelled by train, a 10-15 minute walk from the station.

A really great stay in a fantastic room - wish I could have stayed longer! The staff were really friendly and helpful, and the location was excellent. The only downside is lack of parking, but there are a couple of paid car parks near enough.
