Lovely old property, it was right for us within nice walking distance to darley park for a concert( 20 mins). Very quiet area, slept lovely, comfy bed and pillows. We didn't eat there so can't comment on the food. Perhaps needs a bit of tlc and promoting as it didn't seem busy and really should be. If the outside door looks closed late at night just push it you can get in. Good value for money.

Beautiful hotel …the historical and architectural details were fabulous and the room was very comfortable. However, they advertise a restaurant which does not exist unless you book ahead. Very disappointing!

The room was very comfortable and a high standard of cleanliness. The bar was very well stocked and the staff very friendly and helpfull. Parking looked ok but wasn’t an issue for me as I came on train. Many thanks for a memorable stay. Would highly recommend staying at this hotel.

The bedroom was on the small side. The ensuite looked like it had been recently updated unlike the bedroom which was a little tired. The air conditioning was not available. The best thing was it's location. Everything else was a reflection of the reasonable price

Staff were lovely and friendly and keen to help. After booking a 'Junior Suite' for a birthday gift, I was a little disappointed by the size of the room. I am not sure what made it a suite as it looked like a small double to me. We were on the ground floor with the view of a car park which a prison transporter would regularly pick up and drop off. Beautiful building internal and out. Breakfast had everything you needed. Stored our bags after check out until our train. Great location for City Centre

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The parking was not available so assume it rarely is and but the car park on Bold Lane is close enough but about £11 for an overnight stay. The hotel felt pretty deserted but fine and felt safe enough. The shower temp wasn’t consistent but not extreme. Bed comfortable and slept well but black out curtains would be so beneficial especially in June. Check in was fine and the receptionist was lovely. Tea coffee basic but plentiful. Two bottles of water were very much appreciated.

Really lovely building with friendly helpful staff and excellent value for money. With a deep clean (particularly in the bathroom) and some renovation to bits of tired infrastructure (chipped furniture, old carpet), this could be really excellent and well worth twice the current price.

The hotel is centrally located and everything in the downtown is easily walkable. The hotel itself is a really nice building but it did seem a bit tired. Could really do with a refresh plus something outside (flags, flowers, etc. ) to make it seem more welcoming. A big setback was the inoperable air conditioning for our entire stay - which we were not advised of until after we asked how to get it working. This occurred during the hottest bank holiday on record and the heat inside our room was punishing. That being said the staff were all friendly and helpful.
