Great position - although a little noisy. Lovely reception area and dining room and food was good. Free parking. HOWEVER - then you go upstairs...the refurbishment doesn't seem to have been thorough - corridors and stairs are dreary and in need of a facelift - the refurbished bedrooms were good but the bathrooms were definately in need of some attention.... more

This hotel had a bad reputation, so I was told by several locals under its previous name, but we had an exellent two nights on a package which included evening meals. The food was exellent mix of updated classics and the best of ingreedients: yummy, tasty , fresh, and should be used by the locals not just the hotel's guests.... more

Hotel has been renovated, but unfortunately my room wasn't. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Excellent location next to the station, just a few minutes walk to the shopping centre. Parking is limited, be there early, if not you have to park and pay in the station car park. Wifi is free, quick at times but does tend to loose... more

Unfortunately the refurb into a boutique hotel has not reached room 206 which did not come anywhere near the brochure promise of a "boutique hotel". The pampas bath had several large & ugly dings in the enamel, grouting was filthy, toilet seat had come adrift; The bedroom decor was rather sad 1980s vintage, the lampshdes were showing holes due to... more

I live locally but stayed at the hotel as part of a large wedding party. Check in was great, the receptionist was really friendly. The room was gorgeous, we only paid £79 for a standard but were given a complimentary upgrade to one of the refurbished rooms, the room was like the ground floor, modern and boutique. Due to massive... more
