The hotel is very tired. Lots of damage. The breakfast is awful and too expensive Out of the group of 10 (5 rooms) only 2 had working air conditioning. It was clean. Location was good.

Loved the location and quirkiness of the hotel. Staff excellent - friendly, attentive, respectful and efficient. Room was good and bed comfortable; only small drawback was lack of air conditioning on one of the hottest nights of the year!! And no prior notice of the add on charge for parking. We didn’t eat at the hotel so can’t comment about the food offer.

I had the best nights sleep I have had for years in any hotel I’ve stayed in! The bed was so comfortable and so were the pillows!!!!its so well situated for City Centre and Cathedral! Only thing I’d say is the room needed a little sprucing up! Saying that the price was very reasonable! Parking a little tricky!!

The room we had was a good size and with good facilities(comfortable bed/bathroom etc) our only reservation was that some of the decor needs updating eg settee was worn and not very comfortable. However, overall the room was good value and our stay was thoroughly enjoyable

Proximity to the Cathedral is great. The bar and restaurant seem to be in a transition with a new ordering, etc system but that should be transitory. Reception staff very helpful. Room very comfortable-in the heat it wasn’t possible to open windows wider and fan inadequate. I hope they invest in individual room AC units for future visits.

Our room was on the Cathedral side. We could not see the Cathedral because of the trees, but we enjoyed them and the green meadow, the calm, and the bells when we opened the window. The location was super for walking to the historical sites, museums, restaurants, grocery store, and the train station.

Nice hotel friendly staff but rooms desperately need electrical upgrade. No USB charging points and no spare socket outlets to plug in charger adapter. It would be so easy to replace single sockets with double and with USB integrated outlets. Rooms are a bit tired but appear clean and well presented.
