  “Excellent stay”

  The location was great, the breakfast was basic but just what we needed, and the staff was kind and helpful! We were 4 people staying in a room and the size was great for all of us.

  “All male staff very uncomfortable vibes iam a woman and was made to feel uncomfortabke”

  When i entered the male at reception was informing a guest of establishments near the hotel? Then when it came to me checking in his vibe changed he didnt infiem me of any where to go to eat as they DO NOT DO FOOD? But did give iff a demand if a look at my driving liscence very strange for a hotel to ask for that kind of id. also my credit card details that he wrote down never should anyones information be written down. He proceeded to tell me not to use the kettle as theres coffe provided there was no coffee. It was all males not one of them made contact the english spoken lad was on the pgone to his mother on loud speaker while i was requesting some milk the window in the bedroom was left open and unabke to close felt like i was sleeping outside 80m winds outside again in all i seen 4 males and not one i mean not one made eye contact tried to make conversation actually triggered my diagnosed ocd very uncomfortable didnt feel safe atall ? Next morning breakfast was weetabix cornflakes toast choice of fryit and youghurt bowl of jams and a pot if bllack coffee got it of groupon paid £119 it wasnt even worth £45 i will be requesting a refund

  “Nice comfortable hotel”

  Nice old hotel and friendly staff. We were given a lower floor room when we booked in without asking because we have mobility problems. Room was warm, clean and well maintained. Comfortable bed. Very good value for money. Also close to the centre of the city. Would recommend.

  “Interesting. But not in a good way.”

  Positive: it was a good location and the staff, when they were about, all seemed very pleasant. Negatives: my room was on the top floor. Up 4 storeys and no lift or any assistance offered. The TV had no signal and was utterly unwatchable. Thankfully I had a good book with me. There was no one on reception when I went out for dinner or when I returned so I couldn’t let anyone know. The bed was adequate but the pillows were weird, cheap and lumpy. Bathroom style was 1970s hostel chic and the shower was more of a light drizzle than an actual shower. Temperature highly variable. Fixtures and fittings were all just a bit tatty, and I did wonder if the hotel had an up to date electrical safety certificate (elderly sockets, light switches, lamps etc). Breakfast is unappealing unless you like cold ham, cheese and boiled eggs. It was all edible but it just felt cheap and a bit begrudged. But overall it was wind and watertight, and nothing seemed to bite me when I was asleep so that met the basic criteria. I don’t think I’d rush to return though.
