“Great location and friendly staff, but a bit shabby for the price.”

- • Stayed 1 night

This hotel has seen better days—the carpet in the room was literally threadbare and down to the backing in several places. The beds were hard as rocks with only a duvet (no sheet)—this meant you could either be covered and hot or uncovered and cold. It also took 10min for the toilet to refill after flushing (not convenient with more than one person in the room), and it made a terrible piped-in-the-wall-banging noise as it did. The street sweepers also began their day at 5:50am and the trash truck arrived shortly after 6:30am, making it difficult to sleep.
The staff were polite, professional, and easy to find. Breakfast was buffet style with choices for everyone. The location on the Cathedral Green is fantastic.

The standard double had a bed pushed up against a wall, this is not acceptable for a couple paying £122.00 for the night only with no breakfast.

Not a very god menu in the restaurant. The hotel had a coach party staying and we were advised that our dinner could take a little time. OK, it didn't take too long but I would have thought that a 4* hotel could cope with about 50 people in the restaurant at any one time.

Limited car parking and you had to pay for a space, if you got one. Room wasn't ready one and a half hours after we could have booked in. The hotel was 'tired' looking and in need of an update/upgrade. Some staff not very friendly.

The only issue, and it isn't the fault of the hotel, was that there was construction going on across the street on Saturday morning. It was a bit loud.
