The property is clean. It is in need of some TLC. Understand that it is an old building and nice to see that these type of places keep going.

A really old hoteĺ sprawling over many levels. Very quirky and full of character. Very friendly staff. The rooms are very spacious and clean with a nice comfy bed. Tea/coffee in the room. The tv is a bit small but its enough for the room. A very reasonable priced hotel. They no longer serve breakfast. I would have gladly paid extra for a breakfast. I will definitely stay here again

No Breakfast available during my stay because hotel owner had closed kitchen and made staff redundant. General decor and condition of bedrooms and public areas dated and in need of TLC. Not a place I would recommend to friends and family in its current state.

Very dilapidated, needs huge investment to bring it up to any sort of standard. Threadbare carpets, corridors smell of drains. Staff obviously embarrassed/demoralised. Such a shame as it could be a magnificent building.

Disliked: Amenities
We stayed last year because of the location for 1 night and thought this year would be better, but unfortunately it was worse. The bath had rust all around the plug area and the mat to stand on for the shower in the bath was black with mould. The carpet in one corner of the room had a frayed patch and the carpets leading up the stairs to the room from reception are all frayed and worn. The staff are helpful but the hotel needs serious TLC. I don’t think we will stay again next year. Linda. North Wales.
