We booked two nights accommodation at the Raj during the Six Nations Tournament as we struggled to find a hotel that didn’t want us to book three nights accommodation or charge inflated prices. At £130 per night the Raj Hotel was by no means cheap but we thought it might be something a little different. We weren’t wrong! Firstly we... More

I spent 2 nights in Sept. at this lovely hotel that has so much class. The decor is excellent art from India & the breakfast that is included makes you feel like a king sitting on the floor amongst the pillows with beautiful artifacts around you. The rooms are also lovely & first class. I felt like a quieen!!

After reading all the previous reviews of this hotel i was a bit worried about staying there on the night of September 17th. However, i was pleasantly surprised, the room we were staying in "Rina" was lovely, and above all, clean! The breakfast however was very basic and when we arrived for breakfast 30mins before closing, there wasn't much pastries... More

The raj hotel was a very pleasant experience. The rooms have a old authentic Victorian look which makes them very romantic and warm. Staff are very accommodating and polite. It based about 15 mins from city centre so very easy to get to the middle of town with plenty buses every 6 minutes David graham www.cityfairtrades.com

We arrived early and understandably left our bags at reception and went about our day. We arrived back at midnight and were shown to our room by the night porter. When the door was opened the sheets were half off the bed and it was clear the bed had been slept in. We raised this with the night porter but... More

I was pleased with my choice. Great value and unique in its styling. Possibly not everyone's 'cup of tea' but I liked it. The staff were friendly & helpful
