Pros:

The Ivy Rooms no longer exist. I am very disappointed that Booking.com did not tell me about this in advance. Thank goodness the Lamplight came to my rescue. They were excellent and stopped our holiday being ruined.

Cons:

I arrived and had to make alternative arrangements with the Lamp light.

Central location- old hotel .
Pros:

Location- very central.
Hotel needs updating for the price charged,

Cons:

Asked for a twin and double room before check in as travelling with a friend. We got a double room. There is no lift in this hotel, quite old and musty smell. Needs updating. Excellent night porter . Reception staff were not dressed professionally.

Place is CLOSED
Pros:

Just leaving this review in the hopes that someone else who has a booking sees it and doesn't turn up. The place is CLOSED.

Cons:

We turned up, just like many others we met outside, but the place is fully closed. No one was contacted to be advised it was closed and some have had their money taken already.
Luckily we found The Quay House which had availability and I honestly recommend it, fabulous place.

Pros:

The check in staff were friendly. Location was good.

Cons:

There was no water in the taps or the flush. I had to leave at 5am just to be able to brush my teeth! At dinner waited for service for 10mts. Then left. PATHETIC FACILITIES. I have been to 182 countries and never encountered any accommodation with no water in the taps... Not even in extremely poor African countries.
