I like the fact that it is old and has so much character. I thought the staff was highly responsive to any questions that I had re: area, restaurants, etc. The room was clean and maintained well. The staff even charged my phone when I couldn't get my charger to work! Would definitely return or recommend to others.

The staff are all friendly and work hard to keep the hotel clean and in as good a condition as possible but it is very run down and in urgent need of renovation. My mattress was also very uncomfortable and felt very old.

TLC required, please!

Overall, very nice. Staff were helpful and friendly. However the hotel needs some TLC, featuring carpets, windows, lifts and paintwork. Sofa in room 304 is very saggy.
