Staff, location, cleanliness good but wouldn't recommend breakfast.
Pros:

Breakfast was terrible and didn't eat. We paid extra £15 each for this but flavourless, low quality, cheap produce. Cafe over the road was much better.
Staff, location and cleanliness was good.

Cons:

Breakfast was totally unsatisfactory.

Pros:

The building is old but don't let that put you off. Inside it is clean and extensively renovated. Room is a good size, as is ensuite. The bar has been modernized tastefully and it seems the hotel is used by many local groups as a venue. Breakfast was excellent with extensive choice. Staff were friendly and informative. A centre light in the bedroom is always a plus!

Cons:

Nothing

Great staff, and clean rooms, central location. will stay there agajn
Pros:

The shower in our room was not working, so i mentioned it to the receptionist when i went down for breakfast. we were immediately offered the use of another room to shower, and there was someone in immediately to assess it, and do repairs, though we were checking out. The hotel itself is tired looking. but well kept and staff were excellant.

Cons:

Room locks were awkward to manage, especially for older adults.
