The room was very dark and stuffy even though the heating was off. It was quite run down in parts especially the bathroom. The bedrooms are well in need of a refurbishment.
The location was the best thing about this hotel and the public areas were ok.

Responded to an email prior to our stay offering a £50 upgrade agreeing to the £50 upgrade. on arrival we had a standard room. When i explained and gave the receptionist the email i was told all the best rooms were taken but for an additional £38 we could have a superior room. we paid it but there was nothing superior about the room. it was dated many of the fixtures and fittings were badly worn. The bathroom was horrible.
Staff were nice and good location

you can NOT drive up to the hotel! great location for a hotel to stay in, terrible location if you have a car. not clear on site that you can NOT drive to the hotel (on a taxi/bus only street and no rear entrance) - VERY confusing and time consuming if you are not aware of this. Parking is 22 GBP /24 hours at a car park 8-10 blocks away and impossible/difficult to get to because of major construction.
fantastic location. we upgraded to a castle view room and it was worth it.

The noise level from the street and railworkers at night was horrendous and couldn't sleep. This was no fault of the hotel but I paid extra for castle view which was lovely but noise spoilt our weekend I would have rather had a quiet room and got a sleep.
Everything was good Staff very friendly especially the reception. Breakfast excellent very good variety. Bed comfy. Nice lounge and good coffee and cocktails. Very Central Hotel.
