This is the worst hotel I have ever stopped in my entire life! Our room was absolutely disgusting! I don't think that anybody has cleaned up this room, especially bathroom. Customer service in this place is very, very poor. The staff, including manager was very unpleasant and didn't seem to care about the customers. I am very very disappointed and... more

I read the reviews on this website before booking and knew I was taking a bit of a chance as the reviews are so varied. My friend and I were there for the Leonard Cohen concert at the Castle. Thank heavens we were only staying one night. My heart sank when we first walked into reception, the staff are pleasant... more

It is a good thing that I did not read any reviews on this hotel prior to our arrival, otherwise I would have been a lot more apprehensive. Our experience: an old and quirky hotel which has a lot to offer: great breakfast, warm, welcoming and very helpful staff and a wonderful pub complex on its premises that enables you... more

We arrived on Friday morning and the outside was very impressive, lovely court yard and what looked to be a great drinking area outside. Once inside it had a shabby lobby and dirty hall ways. Staff were really friendly and young and only too willing to help with any queries we had. Our room was tiny shabby and poorly lit.... more

I was booked to stay here on business. This is a totally unsuitable hotel for the business traveller because you will get little sleep. I got them to move me twice (so i had three different rooms) due to noise. The club music (kareoke by the sound of it one night) is very loud until after 1 o'clock in the... more

I'm not ding-ing this hotel because of the so-so location, or for the shabbiness of the grounds. But, what I am ding-ing this hotel for is the attached Three Sisters Bar. If you're under the age of 25 and looking to simply get wasted and need a convenient place to stay, Tailors Hall is great. If you're hoping to have... more

After reading reviews of the Tailors Hall I was pleasantly surprised with the experience. Situated in an interesting street in the city it has the potential to be very noisy with a bar directly below. However, my room 203 looked out over the side of the hotel and noise was minimul even with the sash window open all night and... more
