Great location central to the train station and many attractions. It’s clear they maintain the rooms well including a fresh coat of paint, which you don’t always see with older hotels like this one (usually the paint ends up quite grubby) the breakfast is excellent as well

Enjoyed our 3 night stay, had a room with a view of the river bridges and minster. 15 minutes tops walk from the station to the hotel, so handy, same to walk to the centre of the city, lots of choices of food and bars in the evening. Breakfast was really enjoyable and the staff were on top of organisation and maintaining the food on offer, we'd happily return, thank you

We had a very enjoyable 2x nights stay at the Queens Hotel.Very good riverside location,best to make sure you pre-book your parking space in advance.Very nice helpful staff,easy quick check in. The room we stayed in was very nice,very clean,could possibly benefit from having more plug sockets in room,bedside etc. Breakfast was very nice,good produce used.We also booked for the evening meal,which was very nice,good portions.All in all we had a great break and would definitely return to this hotel.
