Breakfast first class, staff really good but there can be a language barrier unfortunately. Bar menu very good but very expensive as the drinks are!! We went to book into the restaurant for our anniversary meal, the staff kindly let us see the menu for Saturday night, but there was very little choice and unfortunately no prices were displayed on the menu, the bar menu had more choice. The entertainment on the Saturday night was meant to start at 8pm, we wrnt down at 7.30pm to get a goid

Pros - Nice comfortable room. Enjoyed the pool. Excellent communication before and during our stay. Friendly staff. Cons - no EV chargers. No stand for cases in the room. Addition of plant based milk for tea and coffee in the room would be nice.

The Hydro is a grand looking building from the outside, but inside looks quite tired and in desperate need of an overhaul. The bedroom we had felt very dated and aside from stained carpets, the woodwork has been badly painted and left many of the sash & case windows painted shut. We only stayed for one night so not a huge issue, but the hotel definitely needs revamped. Personally, for the money we paid, we wouldn't book it again, or recommend it to others.

Very tired interior. Most of the staff were foreign and their English was in some cases very limited. Bedrooms are ok but the rest of the interior is very tired and dated.

Lovely hotel room exceeded our expectations we paid to upgrade to a superior room with a view and it was well worth it , 4 poster bed with a separate seating area with another tv and another view. Breakfast was very good too, yes the hotel needs refurbished in some areas but overall a very good deal for what we paid and lovely garden to sit out in the sunshine! There is also anindoor pool which we did not make use of as weather was so nice. Food and drink prices were much more reasonable than down in the town centre which was less than 10 mins walk away. Would recommend this hotel for a stay
