While cleanliness was generally good however round the taps in the bath had not been thoroughly cleaned. The lighting could have been brighter in the communal areas.
A good city centre location with discounted parking near by. It provides good pub food and for the more adventurous there are plenty of good restaurants near by. Value for money.

I didn't like the fact that there was no onsite carparking? I suppose that it would be a bit much to ask in a town centre location? I had to park in the NCP carpark next door.? The hotel did give me a discount card though, but it still cost me £8.20
The breakfast selection was fantastic!! I haven't seen such a wide varied selection in a hotel for a long time. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

receptionist could have gone to check if my breakfast bag was ready
when I made the booking I stressed clearly that I would like a takeway breakfast, on arrival at reception I verified this with the receptionist who made a note of what I would like, she was very helpful and I went to my room then went for a trial walk to shrub hill station to see how long it would take as I was booked on a special train to Appleby leaving at 0730 next morning, returned to reception to collect the breakfast bag later in the evening to be told by the receptionist they weren't aware of a breakfast ag being ready for collection, turns out if they had gone into the kitchen it was there, I did get an apology when I checked out

The room was shabby in need of a lot of improvement and the bathroom as mouldy and also very shabby. The breakfast was disgusting - not sure how you can get poached eggs on toast so wrong but serving watery eggs on cold stale bread without any butter was pretty revolting!!
Not a lot

Disappointing

There was mould all round the taps in the bathroom, and between the tiles there were two holes in the bathmat.Description said tioiletries, what, a bottle attached to the wall 6 foot up ! Scrunched up tissues jammed in a box on the wall.Reading light too dim to read by.Finding room was an orienteering job ! Two men on reception one could have showed me up? I couldn't find the tea and coffee making facilities and indication of their hiding place would have helped.Corridor carpets none too clean.Advertised as having parking, yes at £ 8 a night in an NCP.Didn't have breakfast as was doing the Open Water Swimathon for charity which was at 8am.at Holt. Again advert said breakfast until 11am but of course it finishes at 10am. swim over could have made 11am , and paid for parking AGAIN !!!
The only thing on the plus side was the bath and plenty of hot water, and he bed was comfortable.

“All in all, an okay experience.”

The bathroom's could have been cleaner, I left the hotel room feeling grubby which is ironic considering I had just showered. My bath/shower was clogged and when you flush the toilet a foul smell of sewerage emerges. I feel like the rooms and bathrooms need a good scrub. Don't expect to get a peaceful night's sleep as with wooden walls and the location, you hear everything. I had an incident whereby I had phoned the reception from the number I'd been given which stated to call at any time, to ask if I ordered a pizza could they deliver to my room as I was too anxious thinking about the walk to reception from my room with the dark corridors, but was greeted with a dead end and no response for 30 minutes. Eventually I went ahead and ordered the pizza at 22:00, unfortunately due to Domino's shocking delivery, it only arrived at 23:30, I received a call from the same phone I had had no luck using to get in touch with reception only for a male n the other end to blast me for inconveniencing him, stating; "we are not a 24hr service, it's ridiculous that you ordered a pizza at 23:30, come fetch it" which left me at a loss for words... how can a hotel not have anyone at reception 24/7, and working in the hospitality industry, how can they possibly speak to clients like that?? This morning upon exit I brought this issue up with the lady at reception and she immediately apologised and said she would have it seen to. On another note; upon arrival I was told my payment had not gone through and that I would have to pay upfront, but upon booking on Booking.com I was told it was confirmed, which was ANNOYING.
I didn't go into it expecting much so for that reason I was not disappointed. The hotel is situated in the heart of the city centre so everything is within walking distance. The actual hotel was built in the 13th century so as you can expect, it's got a lot of history but is dark and dingy. The bed was very comfy and the room I had (single room) was provided with an iron, ironing board, fan, hairdryer, flat screen tv, selection of coffee and tea with a kettle and light switches right next to the bed. The breakfast was okay, not great, not poor, just okay. They had a decent selection of pastries, fruits, cereals as well as hot breakfast options. Hot meal arrived in record time however I found my salmon very fishy. You get what you pay for. Nigel greeted me at reception with a friendly smile and quick check in process.
