Good all round
I’d booked two rooms for two couples - which were very different. I appreciate the property is historic, but one room was very small and cramped with a lowered ceiling. The breakfast was good overall with a lot of choice but just one hot drinks machine for the whole hotel often made for queuing. The restaurant had a good range of dishes which were all delicious and well-made - it was lovely not to have to go out in the evening to find food! The staff were very helpful and friendly and the rooms were clean. It’s close to the centre but in a quieter area.

Great hotel, shame about the room
Hotel is fabulous but I was put into a basement room, which was noisy due to someone having a shower in the room above and the air conditioning fan outside my window.

Disappointed
We stayed at this hotel last year and really enjoyed it however we are disappointed that this year they tried to charge us £17 each for breakfast even though it says £12 on your website. When questioning it we were told it includes service charge. Well I've never had to pay a service charge for breakfast in a hotel especially for a self service breakfast.We eventually agreed to pay £15 even though this was still 25%
more than it should have been. Needless to say we won't be staying there next year.

Back again
All pretty good not been since it got the hotton title..bedroom 313 was bit to warm and windows dont open...shaving mirror glass broken, hairdryer safety guard wouldn't stay shut and attachment didnt belong to that model...no biscuits left on hospitality tray 2nd night..little things but not up to hilton standards...
Breakfast room fine but only 1 guy doing everything...quality food...coffee machine also does hot water so long wait sometimes..glasses, spoons, cups all seem to run out once it gets to 9 o'clock...have to keep asking said guy....
Reception ok looked after our bags before and after check in/out..she was a bit rushed
when we were checking out as a queue had built up so i didnt get chance to tell her the niggles and she didnt ask how our stay was...
I would return..if i get a deal.
