Pros:

With the price we paid id of expected breakfast included in feel the price could do with lowering as no breakfast was included all we did was sleep in a bed. The bed was comfy we had a fridge and coffee tea making facilities, it was noisy with the music till early hours but this was stated to us before arriving. Brilliant location I would stay again but for less of the price

Cons:

That breakfast wasn't included in the price

Excellent position! Lovely Hotel!
Pros:

Excellent Location! The hotel is hidden but easy to find. Even thought I went on sunday night, the area still reasonably loud from nearby pubs but it's tolerable (and well reported on the description).
Room was spacious, comfy bed and gread toilet.
Definitely reccommended.

Pros:

The staff accommodated my slightly late arrival. I stayed in The Byron Room which was exquisite. Book it if you can. I was making a flying visit, using it only as a place to sleep so had no need to use any of the pubs facilities but it operates as a quiet house during the week anyway. The location was fantastic too.

Pros:

It was an amazing room.

Cons:

The way the staff delt with me and my fiance. They kicked us out at around 7pm. We.had nowhere to go. All we had was a little domestic. The young lad blew it out of perforation.

Schönes, gemütliches Hotel
Pros:

Alles sauber, für 1 Nacht komplett ausreichend. Sehr großes Bad und geräumiges Zimmer mit bequemen Bett. Direkt in der Altstadt, zum Bahnhof ist es aber ein ganzes Stück zu laufen. Wir waren unter der Woche da, daher war es auch relativ ruhig (außer, dass morgens Fässer im Innenhof gerollt wurden)

Cons:

Das Treppenhaus wirkte etwas dreckig, der Eingang war nicht so leicht zu finden.

Pros:

Right at the heart of everything.

Cons:

Many features need sorting. Windows not staying open, bedroom TV remote didn't work, just some general wear and tear, feel this should have been reflected somewhat in the pricing.
Despite this very comfy bed, lovely rooms, nice to have a fridge and great to pop downstairs for entertainment
