Loved the location and quirkiness of the hotel. Staff excellent - friendly, attentive, respectful and efficient. Room was good and bed comfortable; only small drawback was lack of air conditioning on one of the hottest nights of the year!! And no prior notice of the add on charge for parking. We didn’t eat at the hotel so can’t comment about the food offer.

Nice hotel friendly staff but rooms desperately need electrical upgrade. No USB charging points and no spare socket outlets to plug in charger adapter. It would be so easy to replace single sockets with double and with USB integrated outlets. Rooms are a bit tired but appear clean and well presented.

Proximity to the Cathedral is great. The bar and restaurant seem to be in a transition with a new ordering, etc system but that should be transitory. Reception staff very helpful. Room very comfortable-in the heat it wasn’t possible to open windows wider and fan inadequate. I hope they invest in individual room AC units for future visits.

I had the best nights sleep I have had for years in any hotel I’ve stayed in! The bed was so comfortable and so were the pillows!!!!its so well situated for City Centre and Cathedral! Only thing I’d say is the room needed a little sprucing up! Saying that the price was very reasonable! Parking a little tricky!!

The front staff was excellent. Unfortunately, the construction right outside my window was disruptive, though that may not have been the hotel's fault. Housekeeping hustled me out of the room right before checkout time which I found a bit not nice as I was already ready to leave and didn't need to be hurried out. (Additionally, the shower gel bottle was empty when I went to take a shower. I chose not to bring this to someone's attention as I had my own soap I could easily grab, but it's something the hotel could quality check should they want to after reading this review.) Great location!!
