Beautiful hotel, poor breakfast
Pros:

Lovely location and a beautiful hotel.

Cons:

Awful pre-cooked breakfast. When I asked for replacement fresh bacon, it appeared 1 min later and was almost as rubbery as before. When I complained to the manager, he told me everything is cooked a la carte.

Avoid! Absolutely disgusting.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

We were extremely disappointed with our stay at The (not so) Great Victoria Hotel. The room appeared to be one of the oldest in the property, with cracked walls, poor upkeep, and no air conditioning. Ventilation throughout the building was also very poor, making the hallways feel stuffy and uncomfortable.

The most serious issue, however, was discovering bugs crawling in and out of the headboard only four hours after checking in. I was left with multiple red bites afterwards, which is completely unacceptable in any hotel, especially one charging £80 per night.

I would never have booked if I knew I’d be paying £80 to hang with bugs for 4 hours!

What made the experience even worse was the response from staff. When we reported the issue, reception seemed uninterested and no one was sent to inspect the room. The hotel appeared dismissive of a serious cleanliness and hygiene concern.

Overall, this stay was uncomfortable, unhygienic, and poorly handled by management. I would strongly advise others to avoid staying here.

Spoilt by a few factors
Pros:

Location of the conference I was attending and close to station. Food was good.

Cons:

Did not seem suited to business guests: Wifi v slow and intermittent, chairs, while comfortable to watch TV were too low at desk to use a laptop comfortably. The rrom was very hot with windows sealed so no fresh air. A fan was provided, but not good for oevernight.

Some staff were less than hospitable, with one manager being very confrontational.

Shower amazing. bed comfortable but room
Pros:

Lovely building, location and decor.

Cons:

Carpet in room 405 was absolutely disgusting and full of white stains-I have an autoimmune disease and this kind of dirty is dangerous for me.
