Parking could be an issue for some visitors- best check before you book. We came by train- very handy. (97937599)

positive comments Location central and in quiet,pleasant shopping/ eating street. Good provision of tea/coffee in room (but why only one drinking choc??)
negative comments Poor lighting in room. Noisy neighbouring room (not hotel's fault)

Overall we enjoyed our stay very much and realise that the traffic noise is something that is beyond your control. We feel that we were given all the relative information when we booked except about the very busy road. The windows seemed to be a problem with several residents so they probably need some attention. (99889508)

positive comments Olde Worlde charm, lovely friendly breakfast staff, nice clean comfortable room, good food, good facilities and plenty of space.
negative comments Very noisy traffic and also noise from the pub below late at night. Windows that you couldn't close to shut the noise out.

Basic room and facilities, clean enough but the place is dated. The bar downstairs was a dive and I'd go to the bar across the road if you are looking for a drink. (99923399)

positive comments Proximity to the city centre.
negative comments The breakfast was very poor.

No lift (so far as I know - didn't bother us but could be a problem.) Strange that reception is in a different building to the bedrooms. Slightly scary and dark secure entrance door to rooms. Discount voucher for car park supposed to be 50% off but was only 25% or so. Breakfast was served fast and was excellent Overall very good for a 2** hotel (99368940)

positive comments Very old building, but right in the heart of the city. Excellent for the Cathedral,river, shopping and restaurants
negative comments Having to use the NCP car park

positive comments Good Value for money, convenient position and friendly staff.
negative comments Extremely noisy for about 1 hour from 5.45am whilst bin lorry and deliveries were being made. Bed springs were noisy when turning over in the night.

Douglas from Amarillo, United States;US (Mature couple) 19 March 2006

Nice, comfortable room. Location on a busy street was a little noisy but not terribly so. Friendly staff and very good food in the pub and restaurant. (3304337061)

positive comments Friendly staff, excellent breakfast, convenient location. Very comfortable rooms
negative comments Our room on the first floor required walking through the reception/lounge smoking area. We are non-smokers and it would have been nice to avoid that area.

Denise from Egremont, United Kingdom;GB (Mature couple) 09 March 2006

Nice & central for town. All staff very friendly, helpful & pleasant. Has no smoking area. Has ground floor rooms. (3304215052)

positive comments Hotel comfortable & had relaxing bar & lounges.
negative comments Bit of noise from traffic, double glazing would probably help.

george from muswell hill, United Kingdom;GB (Solo business traveller) 25 November 2005

The picture on the web site does the hotel no favours, it's a friendly place with good food and a shower to knock you over! My wish would be for better bedding rather than sheets and blankets. (2987549)

positive comments Friendly place
negative comments new duvets, I was cold

Terence from CRAWLEY, United Kingdom;GB (Mature couple) 10 October 2005

The hotel is in a great location for a stay in the town but only NCP parking is available. This is subsidised by 50% but still works out at nearly £5 per day. The rooms near to the main road are quite noisy so if you're early to bed or a late riser this will be a problem for you. The staff are friendly and polite. The bar area is lively and popular being right next to the Vue cinema. (2751831)

positive comments The hotel is in a near-perfect location for local sightseeing. Breakfast is excellent. Overall quality of food is good, but we did have a rather disappointing curry. The room was well-prepared each day and in a timely fashion.
negative comments No alarm clock provided in the room and the early morning call we booked only happened one out of the four days so we had to rely on a mobile phone alarm. At check-in we were asked if we wanted a paper each morning but it only arrived on the first day of our stay. The tap handles kept falling off.

There was a minor issue in that the bathroom light did not work...it was reported but not fixed...this did not really cause too much inconvenience (2409752)
