Bland rooms and hotel. Not up to boutique standard, although clean. NOT value for money at all. For £125 per night the breakfast is minimal, at that, you have to find staff to serve you coffee/ food. Overpriced. Not recommended.

We stayed for 2 nights on a KGB deal. Excellent value for money with an extensive buffet breakfast. This is an old hotel which has been tastefully re-firbished. All the fixtures and fittings were of good quality with lots of extra touches. Our room was enormous with a large comfortable bed and large bathfroom. Everything was very clean and the... More

Took advantage of the Travelzoo offer for DBB for one night. It is not a 5 star hotel but we have had a 5 star experience. Room 3 is at the back, great size with large bathroom with bath and shower over. The bed is a 5ft and was comfortable. The cleaning staff are fabulous, our room and bathroom were... More

I changed rooms on my first night and neither of the rooms was decorated to the standard of all the available photos. The rooms were both dated and shabby, albeit with plenty of trinkets and books about the rooms to make them feel more homely. The downstairs of the hotel was just as the pictures show, nicely decorated and cosy-... More

The public rooms of the hotel are well maintained, but the room we stayed in was grim. The carpet was covered in stains and there was a heavy smell of some perfumed substance on the bedding which was extremely unpleasant. Perhaps to mask a spillage? The bathroom was clean and modern. The food was abit hit and miss. My main... More

We stayed here for one night on a Travel Zoo voucher. The hotel has leanings towards the boutique but has not quite got there yet. All the public rooms are very nice and the staff generally helpful and welcoming. Our room (yes, we got the one with the window held open with an old tin - a nice, quirky touch)... More

We spent a two night break - a Christmas gift. Room was clean and tidy and the bathroom too but the drain was blocked so the smell was unpleasant. We got the room where the sash window was propped up by an old tin, the same room another guest commented on. The bed was very comfy and we have no... More

I had a voucher for a night at this hotel including dinner - the room was small with stains possibly bleach) all over the floor. We were not given the normal menu for our dinner but a different one to other diners which was at its best very bland. In all, a very disappointing stay. When I complained about the... More
