Greeted by Gemma with a great big smile and a very pleasant attitude. She made you feel very welcome. The hotel was very quiet, clean and friendly. There’s a tram stop opposite. My only problem was that the bed was rock hard but that wouldn’t stop me staying there again. Can’t wait to come back again.

Great stay

Great trip staying in this Grand Hotel, all staff were friendly, entertainment was good, only downside was the fire alarm went off twice during our stay but that can’t be helped, if people don’t follow the instructions to keep the bathroom door closed when showering. Beds were comfortable although would have preferred a softer pillow (my preference). Tram stops just across the road from the Hotel so it’s a great location to be in.

Old hotel

Faded Victorian hotel which is ok but not in great condition Staff are nice, breakfast is ok Bed was comfortable but have the annoying sheets that some hotels have that seem to fit into the mattress and not tuck under so exposing the mattress. It’s awful Appreciate it’s hard to maintain an old large hotel but does need investment and a refurb The gym and pool have been closed for years but yet there is still signage on the hotel for it. Lack of attention to detail
