Didn't live up to expectation

Our stay here wasn't so good. We arrived and got checked in to be told that the lift wasn't working. Normally this would be fine but my mum had an injured foot and there were no rooms that were easily accessible. We then got to our room and it wasn't what we had originally booked. When I went to ask for a room with 2 beds as we had booked I was told there wasn't any left and we had been given a bigger room so should be happy with it. After again explaining we booked a room with 2 beds because we needed 2 beds we were then given an extra room and was told we wouldn't be charged. However, the morning after, my card had tried to be charged for a second payment. The toaster didn't work for breakfast and my mum had to ask for it to be fixed a few times before someone came to look at it. The photos on the website didn't really match the hotel in person. We wouldn't come back here again.

DO NOT BOOK

PLEASE READ REVIEWS BEFORE BOOKING. I stayed for 2 nights in July 2025 and had paid for the Penthouse room. From looking at the photos at the time of booking the room appeared to have additional space, a living area with a sofa and dining table/chairs. There was also a photo of a very large shower and free standing bath. Be warned...these photos are to entice you in to booking these rooms but are very far from what this hotel has to offer. On arrival i was told that my room was on the top floor, however the lift was out of use so i would have to walk. Not ideal but others would find those stairs very challenging. By the way the lift has been out of use for at least 7 months now. When entering my room i was shocked to see how basic it was, there was no additional room, no sofa, do dining area. The bathroom was very small and you could not sit at the toilet due to the sink cupboard. I did however have a free standing bath. The only issue was there was not only a missing plug, but the taps/pipes had also been removed. About as useful as a plane with no wings. I complained to the hotel and explained that the photos are clearly of another room and misleading. They would not issue any compensation and were not apologetic what so ever. DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL, IT IS NOT VALUE FOR MONEY AND NOTHING LIKE THE PHOTOS SUGGEST.

My room including bathroom was very clean and spotless. Check-in was fast and friendly even though they had two trainee employees but check out staff wasn’t friendly. Check-in and check out lift wasn’t working (out of service) was a nightmare going upstairs to the 3rd floor and back for such a reputable Hotel rating that made me book it. After my functions climbing up to the 3rd floor tipsy was a nightmare.

For the price, I was happy with what I got. Lift was out of order and because I was on the third floor, they offered me free breakfast, which was nice. The hotel has seen better days and is in need of a spruce up, but if you want a cheap stay, close the the train station, then this hotel is perfect.

Paid extra for a room with aircon but it made no difference to the temperature in the room. Fridge did not work. Decor of the room was appalling and very tired with threadbare carpet. Only room with aircon available was on the 4th floor and lift was out of order. There was an incident at the hotel on the morning I arrived and a police officer was sat outside the next room for the duration of the day. No one would disclose details of the incident so it was slightly unnerving having an office sat outside a room just a few feet away from my door. Bathroom was modern and drenching shower was very good. Evening meal and breakfast were very good. Staff were friendly, very helpful and could not fault them.

Beautiful building and excellent staff

The building is beautiful. High ceilings and original fixtures make this a special place to stay. Located in a great location near to transport, shops, restaurants and bars. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Shannon and the other staff are friendly and efficient and made our stay enjoyable. Food was tasty in the restaurant. Breakfast in morning was good and again the staff serving were friendly. The room had everything we needed and a fantastic view of the town hall. Comfy bed with nice cotton bedding and a large flat screen TV. We would stay here again if we are in the area. Very good value for money.
