Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The room was very spacious but very dusty and tired. I appreciate the hotel is very central but the noise from outside wasn’t great for sleeping especially with single pane windows. The room was also quite a long walk away which wasn’t ideal with a heavy case

Friendly staff, comfortable bed, great breakfast - and a beautiful hotel, of course! The only issue was that the water in the shower was never hot - at tea time it was cold, and in the morning it was lukewarm.
Room was filthy, bed wasn’t made or changed in the three days we stayed and we weren’t given towels, the staff were fine but this hotel is in diabolical condition!!! We went to use the pool facilities and the pool and jacuzzi were overloaded with chlorine/chemicals and the area was dirty so obviously rather than clean the pool etc they just keep adding more chlorine so much so my eyes were red and stinging and my husband broke out in a red rash all over his shoulders and back, I was in the area because my daughter was in hospital nearby for surgery and I was absolutely devastated at the disgusting state of affairs st this property, never again!

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was small and dated. Every floor board creaked and we could hear our neighbour enjoying his TV show.
The bathroom was tiny, barely enough space to turn around.
The only positive was Jonathan on reception who was informative and thorough with the check in process.
We were however informed we would need to put down a £100 security deposit which we were not informed about at the time of booking and we also needed to provide photo ID again we were not aware that this was a requirement

Staff pleasant but long wait to check in. Room fine and comfortable but could benefit from an upgrade.
From the aggressive upselling during check in to the tattered and dingy rooms, a serviceable stay at a formerly grand property that is clearly not being maintained and determined to wring every cent from travelers.
Room spotless shower great hotel staff amazing pool sauna jacuzzi great

Room 442: This a lovely hotel but in need of some TLC. Rooms feel basic despite the hotel seeming very grand. The quality of the towels was poor. I had no towelling bath mat. There was a bulb out in my room and finding a good place to plug the kettle in safely was a challenge
