Won’t be back
Pros:

Good location

Cons:

Staff were rude at check in, room smelt of damp, loads of outside noise and the curtains don’t fully cover the window so the room is light at 5am.

Great location, but hotel definitely tired and needs updating.
Pros:

Location was ideal.
Reception welcome was nice and friendly, explained about timings etc.

Cons:

Room was meant to be an exec! Dusty and old looking, definitely needs updating. Bathroom very tired
Breakfast wasn't great, picked up three glasses before I got a clean one for juice. Seat was covered in someone's left over breakfast! Staff were friendly and food selection was fine. Plenty to choose from.

It’s ok for overnight stay and passing through the city
Pros:

Lovely looking building.. beds were comfortable and clean. Nice breakfast. The staff where very helpful and friendly

Cons:

It was a bit tired and dated, especially the bathroom.. really needs updating. Also it wasn’t very clean, especially the skirting boards and tiles. Which we did mention at the reception. The parking was also a bit confusing. It wasn’t very nice round the back of the building, with smashed glass etc, pretty rough..
