Disappointed
Pros:

Not to much to be honest, booked car parking, didn’t happen. Said they’d not received application. It was grubby in places. Over priced at £ 175 no breakfast. I know it was city centre but there was a wedding on the night we stayed wished we could’ve been told. Worst of all, all messages from you start ‘Hi Bone’ not Mr! Not Alan ! Staff when I mentioned anything dismissed my complaints

Cons:

See above

Lovely old hotel
Pros:

Characterful old coaching in. Friendly staff

Cons:

Being an old building didn’t lend itself to a modern hotel. Price was a bit high.

Pros:

The staff were rude and unmotivated, the breakfast room was poorly replenished. And no lemon or lime available for a £12 G&T!

Op zich prima, maar personeel bij de incheck zou gerust wat meer mogen lachen
Pros:

De locatie bij de binnenstad

Cons:

Het ontbreken van een eigen parkeergelegenheid, waardoor je 10 euro per dag moet betalen

Oké kamer, maar hotelgebouw heeft verbetering nodig.
Pros:

Wij kregen een mooie kamer, redelijk goede staat.

Cons:

Een renovatie van dit 17e eeuwse hotel is toch wel erg nodig om gasten te blijven trekken.

Room was near a noisy extraction fan which started up as it was getting light
