I’ve stayed here before a number of times and it’s been a hit! This time, it was a miss. The room (an economy room - I would not choose again) was small, bubbled wallpaper, and not very clean when we asked for an upgrade (willing to pay for it) I was told because we booked through Expedia it was not possible. I kind of felt they didn’t like Expedia booking so didn’t want to make the effort. So we stayed in a very marginal room but.. enjoyed great drinks and staff at the Tavern. Long story bearable., get the better room .. they will not accommodate upgrades. Still a great location.

Great location - historic hotel. If you want up to date luxury, this isn't for you. Our room was cosy and quirky - the shower was a converted wardrobe with just enough room for me to turn and wash myself. Full of old world charm - no sign of ghosts!
