Not the most relaxing stay.

Not the best of stays, if I'm being honest. Open mike night on downstairs right below my room, decided to go down and have a few drinks as couldn't hear the telly. Went to bed at 11pm when music finished then got woken up by police banging on my bedroom door saying that there had been an incident outside the hotel involving an assault on bar staff and one of them had identified me as one of those involved. I tried to explain that this wasn't really possible as I'd been in bed since 11.20 but apparently I couldn't have been because I was outside fighting at 12.20. Phoned hotel next day and got apology, still waiting for my apology from the female police woman who insisted that she'd seen the CCTV footage and it was definitely me. Are they really allowed to lie in order to trick someone into confessing, I'm sure they're not. Anyway all in all not the best of stays and in conclusion I'd say don't stay here unless you have a cast iron alibi.

Great central location with friendly staff, comfy bed but the en-suite needs some attention, towel rail is rusty and not working so it was very cold in the bathroom and the extractor fan was not working so the walls were wet with condensation after shower also the shower drain seemed to be a bit blocked.

I did not like the fact that there was no parking, and I had to go round looking for places to park which I had to pay as well. Free parking in some areas starts at 6pm, checking in was 2pm. Carrying bags from parking areas to the booked place was difficult, its uphill and it was raining, so it was a bit of a challenge for me. There was a lot of noise from the pub which come straight to the bedrooms, to an extent that I could hardly hear my TV. There was life music in the Pub, so I could not sleep until 11pm, when the pub was closed. I was very disappointed with that.

Great location but a bit tired.

The good bits: Great location Friendly Staff Heating worked Beds fairly comfortable but basic Breakfast ok but basic Stored our bags until our train was due The Bad Bits: Woken at 5am by street noise. No sound insulation Windows banged and rattled all night Only one hanger in the wardrobe No glasses in the room No bathroom in the room, bathroom is like a cupboard size and across the hallway so beware if needing a pee in the night Doors are heavy and noisy so not ideal if you do need to pee during the night as will wake other guests Pillows uncomfortable No wifi in the room Could feel air coming through the closed sash window Access up some very scruffy looking staircases Off street access very scruffy inside No lift and some rooms up 4 flights of stairs, no offer of help with bags

Some good points and not so good

im sorry to say this but it was a disappointing stay. Firstly partly my fault for not reading properly but the car park was a 15 min walk away and my bathroom was across the hallway. The Bed was extremely comfortable but the room was dirty and the dust behind the Tv lookslike its never been cleaned. The decor was lovely but because the hotel is so old the sash windows dont shut and the draft was bad and the noise from the street was very loud. The highlight was the lady sorted me out some bacon sandwichs and a coffee at about 8am because breakfast didnt start till 8.30 . a bit late for professionals needing to get to work. when i arrived back from work i was looking forward to some nice hotel pub grub only to find no food after 4.30
