Very good

Good property for staying in the centre of town.
Our room was a very good size and well equipped with a small kitchen. Clean.
The breakfast was adequate for my husband but little choice for a gluten free vegan.
There’s a handy car park at the rear of the property with video surveillance. Ideal for a biker.
The staff are personable and friendly. I was made feel most welcome.
The facilities in the room are everything you need. No complaints there.
The building, fixtures and fittings are old and shabby. The carpet in the room has burns and stains. In need of replacement.
The one no-no is that the cups in the room were dirty, with ring stains from previous beverages. I had to wash a cup before making a cuppa.
Old City Hotel kept in great condition and affording a large room with comfortable beds and good room facilities. En-suite was fine - and despite the weather being warm and the hotel not being air-conditioned, the room remained cool at all times as did the whole hotel. Breakfast was cooked to order with very tasty and good quality food - and a more than adequate choice to eep us happy for four days.
Good location, staff very pleasant and helpful.
We requested a room on a lower floor and they obliged. Free parking on site.
The room was freshly painted and clean but the curtains were old and the chest drawers had a crack in the front.
As it was very hot we would have liked fridge for cold water, however a good powerful fan was found for us.

The hotel is ideally situated in the town, but close to a busy road. The free parking was a bonus. But on the whole the hotel is looking very tired needs decorating throughout. Our room was ok, a long climb up a lot of stairs. It was clean enough but very basic! The bar didn’t appear to be open at any point either The staff were great and friendly, the only positive I can say about the place. If I visit the area again, I wouldn’t stay there
