Common areas, bar/restaurant areas, our room, etc were all clean, in good condition. Nice and quiet. Very walkable. The bed was overly soft, bit of a sag. Bathroom lighting could be a bit harsh. Better breakfasts elsewhere, terrible drip coffee in restaurant. But cannot beat the location, right next to a truly gorgeous park. Staff were all very, very nice. Relaxing to have a pint in the bar in the evenings.

well maintained property. nice room, lovely bathroom. Good standard of cleanliness. Friendly staff. Noise from outside could be loud as our room looked onto a fairly busy road both traffic and pedestrian. Had our evening meals in hotel. good menu, fair price. Great location for attractions and bus station.

Great stay

Everything about our stay in The City Hotel was great from comfy bed to breakfasts x All staff very friendly and helpful x the only downside for me was the shower x the head was fixed so high up with little pressure with a wide angle spray that i found it hard to rinse my hair properly x
