A splendid stay at the City Hotel. A lovely old hotel with a lovely interior refurbished to suit the fabric of the hotel. Only downside is no lift to second floor, the stairs were awkward for older people. The staff were amazing and helped us with our suitcases. A beautiful dining area and outside space. Highly recommend this hotel.

Everything about our stay in The City Hotel was great from comfy bed to breakfasts x All staff very friendly and helpful x the only downside for me was the shower x the head was fixed so high up with little pressure with a wide angle spray that i found it hard to rinse my hair properly x

I would rate my room as 3 Star as it was a little cramped as an attic room for one. The bed was comfortable and shower clean and powerful. Served it's purpose well for 2 nights. Was great value for money and very pleasant downstairs in a formerly fine grand building with big stained glass windows still above the stairway. An excellent breakfast included in price. Friendly staff. I would stay there again.

Would have got 5 stars as the room itself and breakfast were really good ... but the WiFi didnt work in the room and the TV screen froze and wouldnt switch off .. no spare remotes ... they couldnt look at it till morning when we were checking out. Disappointing as had wanted to relax and watch football on my laptop but couldnt. Paid for wifi and didn't get it 🤔
