The staff were very helpful and friendly. The rooms were quite spacious. The food we had was very nice and tasty. Just the lack of parking facilities lets it down, but everything else is great!

Nit for those that want a quiet nights sleep

Pros - it was cheap - bed was very comfy - breakfast was basic but good - staircase was amazing to look at Cons - walls were paper thin - room was tired and so was I after 3 nights of listening to other guests chat and ‘have fun’ and one night they seemed to be moving furniture - floors were uneven … it’s a very old building and looks it. Windows had secondary glazing but this didn’t stop the traffic noise

Trip from Cornwall to see Joe Banamassa

just a couple of points, the void in the secondary glazing between the hinged glazing and the sash window is laden with dirt. the bath had two chips on it which I have never seen before in any hotel The breakfast was probably the best I have ever had and the staff were helpfull and most attentive. Your hotel would be our first choice when revisiting the City

Really lovely stay! We were early but our room was ready so could go straight in. Beautiful building. A little tired looking but everything was clean. Bed was very comfortable. Radiator didnt work in our room but an oil heater had been provided which did the job well. Great location next to the castle. Definitely value for money and would come back again.
