Harry's Hotel & Restaurant  

Harry's best days are long over. We used to stay there regularly until about 5 years ago. Went back now, and were shocked. It is under new management, and the website says it was refurbished in 2008. None of the refurbishment was obvious. When we arrived there was a scaffold around the whole place, as the roof was being redone. Noise levels during the day were quite high. Downstairs used to be a fab restaurant, but now also seems to be a major nightlife place, with all the noise that comes with it, especially when people leave late. The room itself was shabby: no bulbs in the reading lamps, only one functioning light in the bathroom, and a broken bathroom lock. The windows had to be propped open with the bin, and as they are single-glazing and quite old and bent, they did not keep out the noise from the main street outside. We stayed for two days and did not get a friendly greeting from the staff during those two days. We are a young couple and quite willing to put up with some noise or imperfections, but Harry's is pricey and just doesn't deliver.

Rooms very small No full length mirror in rooms No iron No fridge No bath towels Constant water pipe noise Banging noise all night Rubbish beds to sleep on

The hotel bar and restaurant were modern in design and warm and welcoming.

It was all good!

Good food and location. Staff very friendly.

Old style windows, not double glassed. Noisy part of town, even after midnight.

Convenient Location

A bit noisy being above the bar.

The outside noise at the front of the hotel at night double glazing required for the front street rooms

Good location, reasonable price.

Noisy next to main road

the hotel was booked for my daughter and son-in-law to visit me...we expected it to be noisy because of the bar and students..it wasn't a problem and knowhere near as bad as we thought it would be...even tho there was a halloween party going on downstairs...the couple will be staying there again in december as they liked it very much.

this is not so much a complaint as a mention of the quirkiness...it was a bit like an easy to follow maze of stairs and corridors...small but wide lobsided doors...and a large room. the difficulty would be if you had trouble managing stairs. we didn't ask about a disabled room as i myself wasn't staying there.

Helpful staff and comfortable room

It was clean and provided a good breakfast

The hotel bars were very noisy, full of lively students so impossible to have a conversation. Our back room was tiny for a double and it was surounded by scaffolding (as was the whole building). The rooms' floors sloped! The front bedroom (my sister's) was very noisy from:- street pedestrians, smokers, students and cars. The worst hotels I have stayed at for noise and value for money. It wasn't cheap! Not for the discerning traveller. My sister had a bad knee and had to walk up 4 flights of narrow stairs.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, the breakfast was lovely. The actual bar and resturant was nice. The room was very clean.

The room was small and the floor sloped alot, the room was very hot and the noise coming from extractor fans outside the window kept us awake. The bed was very uncomfortable it desperately needed a new matteress

Food at dinner very good

People leaving the bar were quite noisy
