Stayed here for 2 nights great location parking on site which is extra £5 per night paid to at the hotel which should really be included in price not an extra. Staff were friendly and helpful.Room was very tired and dated and hadn't seen a proper clean for years stains everywhere bodge jobs everywhere that have been done in the past which hadnt been finished,however bedding was fresh and clean and this was only a base to sleep for us but definitely not an £100 + a night hotel in desperate need of renovation because it's a lovely old building it's a shame.

Great location close to everything, pubs restaurants and castle. Has its own parking which is a big plus. Was once a grand hotel that is showing its age. No elevator or restaurant and the rooms are a little rough. It was clean enough but one of our pillow cases had a blood stain on it which was pretty gross.

We stayed for one night and were very pleased with our choice. The hotel was very clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. Ok, it is a little dated but on the other hand the building is full of history and character. Parking on site at a discounted price very much appreciated considering its town centre location. There is no breakfast or restaurant facility, but who would not want to venture the few yards outside the hotel where you are spoilt for choice for lovely wide ranging places to eat. Look forward to staying here again.

Very central, so great location. Lovely, old building, badly in need of renovation. That said, a cheaper option than most available when we were looking, so depending on your priorities you might feel it’s value for money. One of our rooms at the front of the hotel overlooked the road, which can be a bit noisy, if you are a light sleeper. The rooms were clean and had all the basics. Staff were all lovely and very helpful.
