Central location, big room and comfy bed. Yes the furniture was a bit tired looking and the outside could probably do with a facelift but it was clean and warm with a lovely view of the cathedral

Both receptionist and dua in the bar were beyond helpful and lovely. It was great that they made such a fuss of my dogs. The rooms are very clean but definitely need an update of furniture and decoration. But I would still choose to stay at this friendly hotel

Superb location. Really good customer service from the staff and a lovely bar and restaurant area. Other part of the hotel could do with refreshing. Our room was spacious with a view of the cathedral. Comfortable bed. The furniture in the room is showing it's age but this did not bother us as we were out and about most of the time. I would definitely stay there again.

Not too much to comment on a single overnight stay, did not require breakfast. Knocked 1 star off service not because there was anything wrong but just seems odd to say it was excellent when my only interaction consisted if being issued with a key. Staff were polite and friendly for this short interaction

Lovely view, nice staff. Great central location. Room was a bit tired, but spotlessly clean It was, sadly, very cold. Even with the heater on full blast it was chilly. I would certainly stay here again

All was basically fine. There are a few things you need to be aware of: the WC handle in our room was loose and functioned poorly; the shower screen seal on the fixed pane seems non existent, flooding the floor when the shower is used, the WC was not really clean, superficially so but filthy on the left hand side, not readily seen when looking directly down at it. The room was clean and warm, the bed fantastic, very comfortable and spacious. We would have preferred to not have to go to reception for additional tea bags, only one each! Also, maybe I’m old fashioned, but not having the bed made when staying at a hotel does seem odd??

Hotel bar closed at 22:30 - on NEW YEAR’S EVE! No heating on in room on arrival despite it being near zero temperatures. No extra blanket in room - had to scrounge one from reception. Woken up by fireworks at 4:20 in the morning (okay that probably not the hotel’s fault).
