Great location but a bit tired.
The good bits:
Great location
Friendly Staff
Heating worked
Beds fairly comfortable but basic
Breakfast ok but basic
Stored our bags until our train was due
The Bad Bits:
Woken at 5am by street noise.
No sound insulation
Windows banged and rattled all night
Only one hanger in the wardrobe
No glasses in the room
No bathroom in the room, bathroom is like a cupboard size and across the hallway so beware if needing a pee in the night
Doors are heavy and noisy so not ideal if you do need to pee during the night as will wake other guests
Pillows uncomfortable
No wifi in the room
Could feel air coming through the closed sash window
Access up some very scruffy looking staircases
Off street access very scruffy inside
No lift and some rooms up 4 flights of stairs, no offer of help with bags

Some good points and not so good
im sorry to say this but it was a disappointing stay. Firstly partly my fault for not reading properly but the car park was a 15 min walk away and my bathroom was across the hallway. The Bed was extremely comfortable but the room was dirty and the dust behind the Tv lookslike its never been cleaned.
The decor was lovely but because the hotel is so old the sash windows dont shut and the draft was bad and the noise from the street was very loud.
The highlight was the lady sorted me out some bacon sandwichs and a coffee at about 8am because breakfast didnt start till 8.30 . a bit late for professionals needing to get to work.
when i arrived back from work i was looking forward to some nice hotel pub grub only to find no food after 4.30

Everything about our stay was great until the Fire alarm went off at about 6:05 this morning everyone who was staying there made there way outside. There was No staff present my wife rang Three emergency numbers no one answered. Finally Laura rang back and said to my wife she would get a taxi to the pub. The alarm did stop but I found the whole incident poor to be honest and let our stay down.

We weren't told till we arrived at the pub that there was a live band playing on Friday night But there was another live band on Saturday night so we didn't have any sleep on our stay and on Sunday night they had the jukebox going loud we've never stayed at a place where we had to cross the landing to go to the bathroom there were no double glazing and no Black out blinds so if you are looking for a quiet place to stay I wouldn't recommend this place

The location is such that parking is difficult. It is located in a pedestrian zone and we missed this ... We had to walk uphill with our cases which was extremely difficult. pARKING arrangements should be made more clear.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Very central, and a comfortable, clean room. As they say, they do have live bands on Friday and Saturday night.
