10/10 Excellent
"Out stay was great, staff were helpful, great location for the Princess Theatre and the breakfast was excellent with a lot of choices. The hotel is looking a bit tired and could with some updating, as an example our room has yellow aged switches and sockets but still a lovely place. We ate in the hotel for a late lunch the chicken ceasar burgers looked really goid but the crab and prawn linguine was lacking crab and the portion size was a little more than a starter but nevertheless was very tasty, overall a great stay."

8/10 Good
"It’s a lovely hotel. A little bit dated now, in places, but overall really nice in a nice setting and location. The staff were friendly although there were a few occasions things were asked for and not delivered on. I put this down to them being young and maybe not fully engaged with their roles. Could maybe do with some senior leadership to raise standards to where they could easily be. I would recommend and I would stay again. Just manage your expectations. Don’t expect the best. But overall a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I paid for breakfast both mornings. The food quality was great but often things were missing and not replenished. A little disappointing at £16 pp price point."
