This is a classic case of fading grandeur. Firstly, there is very little parking (4 cars) so if you arrive when these are taken you are directed to a secure multi-story carpark. This can be expensive as it charges until 6pm, then there is an overnight charge (£7:50) and a third charge after 8am. Cost me nearly £15. Then the rooms are tiny. Our double room had only 1 chair ... there was no room for a second one! We didn't eat there as there is a Wetherspoons 5 minutes away. One of the staff had very little English. Yes, it has been a grand place but it is now living on its laurels. Better can (easily) be found.

The hotel was central and close to town centre.All the staff were very polite, courteous, and helpful. I was blown away by having a 'bath' in my standard room. Also, having a 'Key' and not a card entry was a nice touch. Unfortunately there's was never a dedicated staff atthtb

Room has no air con. Altho there is a unit in room hotel confirmed they don’t have aircon. Bathroom has no fan so smells from going to loo for a poo stay. Breakfast omelette was dry and filling limited and everything self service except for the cooked breakfast . Water in rooom was nice touch if you buy a drink from bar you have to pay. They didn’t tell me this until I was walking up the stairs to go to my room

Needs a revamp!

The reception is lovely but that’s where it ended. The rooms need some re-decoration. The A/C does not work and was extremely hot. Both bedside lamps did not work and also one in the bathroom. Breakfast really was poor- food quality and over cooked eggs, not great when you’re having eggs Benedict and the eggs are hard boiled! Not really sure this is a four star hotel. Staff however were friendly and polite!

Average stay, friendly staff, decent breakfast

We had an ok stay. We accidentally got sent to a room that wasn’t made up and we were offered a drink while that was sorted out. The room we did get was ok, but the shower was covered in orange and black mould, not just in the corners but the grout throughout. Otherwise the service was great, the staff were really trying hard. Breakfast was great, you got to choose from a menu. It definitely wasn’t a four star experience but not terrible either.

Great grade II listed building with stunning lobby and stairwell area. Nicely presented room with all the finishes expected of a 4* hotel. Pleasant staff and a good breakfast offering. The price was very reasonable and in a great central location

Hotel was fine but nothing special, not sure how it’s got 4*. Hairs in the bathroom and the air con didn’t work, view was also facing out to a wall. Room did have a fridge and a coffee machine and the bathroom’s fairly modern. Rooms could probably do with a revamp.

Not a 4 star !!

Could be a lovely hotel. It needs a bit of tlc. We booked a superior double with king size bed, on arrival we asked if there were any upgrades. Which seemingly we were given for free ? When we went to our room it was small and pokey and not very nice at all. Complained at reception and we were then given the room we had booked( before upgrade) this was far more spacious and a better view. The air conditioning wasn't working in the hotel, but we did have a fan supplied, which helped. My wife went for a bath, then we couldn't get the plug out !! Breakfast wasn't to great either. No fruit or pastries. All in all, not a great place to stay. It could be as the close proximity to town is the reason we chose it. But definitely not 4 star. !!
