Really loved my one night stay here. Reception staff so friendly. Rooms very clean, bed super comfy with crisp sheets and nice towels. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate, milk and a kettle all provided. It's an old hotel but I liked the character of the place. Breakfast is superb, cooked to perfection. Lovely ingredients, served beautifully with a rack of toast. Will return!

Absolutely loved the place. Have to give a shout out and compliment to Andrew who was amazing and suggested a place for dinner and we had an amazing time at the old opera house. He provided us with a town map and showed us places to visit. Thanks you so very much Andrew

Great victorian style hotel, stayed here for one night after seeing the coldplace concert at the trinity theartre, The architecture of the hotel looks very very grandiose. They have a bar and a restauraunt in the hotel. The rooms are very nice and spacious and cleaned well. The breakfast room was also nice. Bang on convenient location for the theartre.the map they give us when you come in is very informative as it has a map of the city centre so you can navigate round it easilly which i think is very good.will reccomend this hotel to anyone
