Hotel clean, warm, good bed and linens. Staff very friendly and helpful. Room made up each day when towels were changed. Did not dine in only had breakfast which although basic was well presented in a very clean atmosphere. Especially enjoyed the well cooked and well presented breakfast. Would thoroughly recommend this Hotel. Was a little far from all the bizz but that made for peaceful nights. Tram service immediately across from Hotel are clean and well run. Block tickets allow multi hop on hop offs every 15 mins.

My wife and I were members of a coach party. On arrival after a long journey our first big disappointment was the queue for the antiquated 2 x person lift to our room. Then we had to try and find the room along confusing narrow corridors where the room numbers didn’t seem to follow and numerical sequence. Our allocated room was very cramped and had a view over the rubbish bins! We returned to Reception and were given the keys of room 109, a larger room, still no view. The receptionist told us that we would have to pay £20 per night extra if we wanted a room with a view - we were there for 4 nights and decided to ‘stick it out’. The lift to this floor was ‘out of order’ and we had to either climb the stairs (we’re in our eighties) or go to the opposite side of the building, take the lift there and negotiate the maze of narrow corridors to get to our room. On the plus side - the breakfast and evening meal were quite good and I enjoyed the food, the waitresses and waiters worked hard and were most friendly and efficient. The shower was good and there’s was plenty of hot water. Unfortunately, we all witnessed a rather unpleasant incident when a guest in an adjacent table had cause for a complaint. A young bearded man, ( a supervisor of some kind), was summoned and was quickly shouting loudly at this guest, he then roared “ Don’t you come back” at the guest and stormed out, slamming the kitchen door behind him. We all looked at one another in total amazement! I’ve stayed in dozens of hotels worldwide in my lifetime but never witnessed anything like this. This hotel is in dire need of modernisation, it needs a lot of money spent on it to bring it up to modern standards. The carpets and easy chairs in the public areas are well past their sell-by date. Would we stay in this hotel again? - definitely not!
