This is a very old hotel being restored. It was in a great location. The room was comfortable and clean. However there were no written instructions on how to use central heating, etc in the room, or that there were safety alarms that could be set off. ( to which staff always responded) Breakfast was fabulous as was the restaurant food. Some of the staff were helpful, some rude and abrupt so one can’t generalise.

Great Hotel with friendly staff

Very friendly and helpful staff. Great breakfast, and it was refreshing to have a refrigerator in the room. It's an older building so the floors aren't exactly level, but that didn't bother me. Nice location. Would stay here again.

I had an awesome stay even with the radiator malfunction that made sleep the first night impossible. But thanks to Thomas windows were opened and heat turned off. And the general manager decided I should be give a higher ad bigger room. Much appreciated. Special praise to Thomas!

For a 4* hotel I would have expected the room to be in better condition. Carpet badly marked all over, bed was terrible, could feel the springs and very uncomfortable. Room was in dire need of an update. Bedroom furniture very old fashioned. Bathroom needs stripped out and replaced. There was obviously ceramic tiles in the floor and they have put lino on top of it. Badly positioned toilet roll holders, when using the toilet. Shower needs an update. In all it was a horrible room, with the worst nights sleep. If you can call it that. Thankfully only booked for 1 night to attend a gig. On the plus side, the woman who checked us in was lovely.

Central for all amenities. Very tired Hotel. Room clean but very old fashioned. Our room had possibly 2 bathrooms situated above which left nothing to the imagination when being used. One of these Bathrooms had a leak which started to drip into our room and the carpet looked like this was not the first time that this had happened. When we complained it appeared that the maintenance team were already aware of it . Won’t be going back.

I booked this hotel for the convenience to the Music Hall in Union St. We were upgraded to a deluxe room, it was fine but hardly deluxe. The floor lamp and the lamp on the desk did not work, there was a hole in the white window covering and a brown stain on the carpet beside the table/2 chairs. Did enjoy the breakfast. Would stay again but nice if these wee niggles were sorted as part of routine maintenance.
