Clean room, lovely shower, good comfy bed, and warm room, good facilities. down side mirror in bathroom not working, couldn't open window for some fresh air was told by reception 1rdt floor rooms the windows don't open,, think we should have been advised about this as and accommodated on a higher floor room. Being the week end it was rather noisy , we asked for a room with a view to the river and we're given a room facing the buildings and bars thorough fair. The room 110 was very clean and comfortable but not with the river view.

Overpriced but ok for one night

Hotel needs refurbishing. Lack of plug sockets in bedroom. Small bathroom with bad pressure in the shower. Excellent breakfast. Rooms on the town side are very noisy at night with all the bars and pubs. Overpriced for what it is.

Liked: Cleanliness
The room appeared to be unheated. Although the door to room appeared to be secure it had previously been damaged along the lock/door pillar which was concerning. (Room 115). The room was clean and comfortable but exterior noise in the streets echoed between the buildings. As a light sleeper this was not ideal.

Double room was tiny and bed was hard against the wall on 1 side. Had to ask for side order for evening meal that didn't turn up and burger was dry and bland. Twice asked receiption about no heating in room but no one turned up and not resolved. Was told at breakfast that dining room was closed despite arriving 30mins before breakfast ended. No apology given, and lastly charging £15 for overnight hotel parking. Total lack of care and awareness from staff. Never to return here again

On checking in. Only 1 lift working took 25 minutes to get in the lift due to very busy. Room was perfect apart from couldnt turn heating on. Came down for Dinner in the Bar ordered a starter and mains went to Order Pigs un Blankets to be told not available. Normally when given a Menu you are told there and then if things are not available. ALL the food came out at the same time. Sent the mains back until we had finished the starter. Mains arrived were warm. Ate it as was not long out of Hospital and was hungry. Waited 25 minutes for someone to clear the plates and asked for pudding menu and another drink. Then waited 15 minutes for someone to take our order decided in the end to leave. 3 staff in bar working then 2 of them went and looked after a coach party in the dining room. Leaving 1 person doing nothing but the Bar. Came down for Breakfast was lovely. One Waitress saw i wasnt great due to my Operation and said if i needed anything just to ask for Help. Very appreciative

Tired hotel but great staff.

Beds were comfortable. Bar was great. The hotel itself was tired and in need of decorating inside and out. Carpets looked dour. Cobwebs hung from the bedroom ceiling. One of the 2 lifts was out of action for a day and a half. Rooms at the front were noisy with revellers outside until the early hours noting it was the weekend. Windows could be better glazed. To finish on a positive note, the staff were friendly and helpful, working hard.
