    We stayed here last weekend for a wedding - it's a beautiful, luxuriant hotel with a wonderful atmosphere and very friendly staff. We had our toddler with us and all the staff were (genuinely) friendly and accommodating towards him. The food in the restaurant was great, the wedding itself was brilliantly organised, everything was wonderful. We would happily go back!

    We stayed for one night for my birthday and overall it was a nice experience. I appreciated the birthday note in our room. The whole building does feel like it needs a refresh as it felt quite dated and in places crumbly. The staff were friendly and helpful but forgot to tell us when check out was so we had to spend a bit of time finding the information. Location is great if you're looking for a spot close to the action in town. We found that the radiator in the bathroom wasn't able to be turned off and made the room very hot so a better heating control would've been appreciated.

    Hotel is a bit shabby and dated, I wouldn’t consider it to be a 4 Star. No air con or fridge in room and this contributed to a few uncomfortable nights. Not usually one to complain but the website didn’t meet expectations.

    Just spent 3 nights here. Service was good, very helpful reception staff. Rooms were very basic and the walls were paper thin so could here every noise from next door. Paying £10.95 a night to park in the hotel carpark is ridiculous. The worst thing, though not the hotels fault was the constant noise from the drunk/ drugged idiots in the square outside every evening from 4pm until 11:30pm. Entertaining if you like to watch drug deals and fights
