Clean and comfortable hotel in great location
Easy access by car then the large free car park meant we could safely leave the car and were able to walk into the city in less than 20 minutes. Food was very good and the restaurant on site was reasonably priced. Our room was large, clean, quiet and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful and we would definitely recommend the Victoria Hotel as a place to stay

2 night family stay
Ideal location for us visiting family. Walking distance to town but buses and taxi also easily accessed. Hotel is very clean and comfortable. Restaurant serves a good breakfast (little on the slow side of service) but evening service no issues and good food with plenty of choice.

Good value hotel
2 night break, about a 20min walk from city centre. A bit tired but clean. Staff very friendly. Evening meal good and reasonable, Carvery did not look to be that good. Excellent freshly cooked breakfast. Free car parking reason for choosing this hotel.Would definitely stay again as very reasonably priced and good value.
