I love old hotels with some character, much more than anonymous new ones. This had everything I needed for a quick overnight stay and the staff were very pleasant. A card with information about free wifi would have been helpful.

Sasha

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very clean and very friendly staff. Rooms were decently sized, and we had very little disturbance and noise. Beds were comfy and clean. We paid extra for breakfast which was decent and worth the money (a hot breakfast which is brought to your table and cereal, pastries and hot drinks that you can get yourself). Great location for the quay and old town, with shops, restaurants, pubs and many boat trips nearby. If we were to return to the area we would come back here.

The hotel is comfortable and clean. It's a old building and my bathroom could do with a bit of an update. The staff are very helpful and friendly. I ate at the hotel for a Sunday lunch, which was well cooked and generous. The breakfasts were amazing as well.

Handy for the Quay

This rambling old building is close to the Quay, with its restaurants and boat tours. The bus and railway stations are 10-15 mins walk away. My bathroom had a large washbasin, the option of bath or shower, and constant hot water. Storage space was sufficient and there was a desk and chair. Breakfast was filling. There is a pleasant courtyard beside the building for drinks.

Would stay again

Good value for money & nice old-pub atmosphere. Room simple and in need of some TLC but OK. If you are bothered by noice through flooring (pub below) and walls (snoring neighbour) - choose other place. Great breakfast. Pleasant walking area city centre.
