Excellent
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious, the beds a little soft for me but thats personal preference. The breakfast was good. The hotel is within walking distance of the train stations which was excellent.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
We stayed in a suite and were disappointed with the service and the room amenities for a ‘luxury room’. Will be taking this up with management to enable them to have a chance to address our issues rather than doing this via a review. If staying in a basic room our stay may have felt better as the hotel looks lovely and is very conveniently located.
Staff on site were polite and friendly but poor at addressing issues when raised in terms of their approach (no apologies just ‘well that’s how it is’ attitude).
I wouldn’t stay not to stay here but personally we would give another property a go as our stay wasn’t good enough to warrant a repeat visit.
Seems to have its dining room and other normal ground floor amenities somewhere over the years but being centrally located this is no problem. It does offer a bistro and hot meals throughout the day but not quite what you would expect of a hotel of this size.
However, no complaints and I will be staying again
Central location, short walk from the railway station, to the shops and cafes.
Beautiful decor, large bright rooms. Loved the wide corridors to the rooms.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Would definitely stay there again. 😁

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Clean and tidy with excellent service from reception staff. Rooms are a little tired (albeit we went for standard) and breakfast was a bit of a farce but did the job and the two receptionists we dealt with were truly excellent
Stayed here 3 times short walk from the station! Stayed in room 205 which is at the rear of the building so nice and quiet away from the city traffic noise! We always book DB&B excellent value, the hotel seemed quieter than previous visits. Pre-dinner drinks were very very limited as bar person said they were waiting for a delivery actually only Guinness on draft & beer fridge almost empty! My partner & I both choose the soup which was delicious he had chicken curry which was an large portion together with trimmings I choose seafood
Recently refurbished. Skeleton staff levels.
Only one beer on tap, in spite of having 4 beer taps. Breakfast was terrible. My shambled eggs were inedible, snd my wife's toast wasn't toasted!
Not worth the money, top floor at 68 years old , Not for me , room a bit shabby in need of renovation, Very noisy from the road , Will not be staying there again.
