All around magnificent piece of architecture. Brilliant staff, very helpful and pleasant. For the price I paid, the room itself was great. The place could do with a bit of redecoration but I really liked the atmosphere of the hotel overall.

Room needs updating. Was clean. But bottom of shower mouldy, marks on walls. Window rotting. No sockets near bed. Mattress only 3in wide and rock hard. Very poor sleep. But was cheap.

Room smelt of sewerage

A very grand looking hotel with great foyer and sweeping staircase, but ultimately it doesn't matter how clean a hotel room is if it stinks of sewerage from the toilet.

We had a lovely comfortable stay. We did have to clean the bathroom a little as few hairs on the bath and toilet had brown water in the bottom but apart from that it was lovely. We had robes in the wardrobes, toiletries and plenty of towels. The coffee pod machine is a nice touch. Overall hotel was clean as you could be for its size ! We really enjoyed our stay thank you
