We stayed just one night, the room was very clean and comfortable. The bathroom for room 1 is not heated and we stayed on a very cold night, so not ideal.

Good for a one night stay.
Comfortable but smallish clean room with 4' 6" comfortable double bed. Tea/ coffee making facilities and ironing board, iron, hair dryer, luggage rack, bed side lamp/table only on one side of bed. Clean bathroom, needs extra hooks/towel rail in bathroom. TV Freeview only. Downside very poor hotel wifi reception. Easy walk to Cathedral etc. (all bedrooms upstairs, so not suitable for disabled travellers.)

Nothing particularly unique. Good, mostly clean (sticky patch on bathroom floor). Good service, good food (pipping hot served on a cold plate!). Certainly good value.

We didn’t like the room we were in. Very small windows. Huge television but Too big to watch in the room. We liked the bed. It was very comfortable and there was a very big bathroom. The hotel was very convenient to walk to all the tourist places.

Alison

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The place was very dated and run down. The worst thing was the smell of drains and damp - particularly in rooms 1 and 2. The door handles all need replacing. The lock broke on room 1 which meant a move to room 5, where the internal handle came off when you tried to get out ( surely a danger if there was a fire?) The windows in all rooms were filthy and the drinking glasses provided not much better! All of these issues were pointed out to the manager who agreed this was totally unacceptable. In his defence it appears that he has asked the management company to authorise the repairs needed but they refuse. My recommendation is to find another place to stay.

Bathroom lacked towel rails/ hooks. Cobwebs over bed. Room was not serviced at all during my 3 night stay. Hanging rail for coat hangers much too high. A small fridge would have been wonderful!
