But yet another hotel where the designer has had the last word. Hotel managers should spend a week in each room in their hotel, then there would be more drawer space, plenty of sockets at useful heights, hooks for coats (especially damp ones), brighter lighting and comfortable armchairs instead of baths in bedrooms, mirrors everywhere except near the hairdryer socket, and no shaver socket. Our 3 night stay was enjoyable, but with a bit more thought given to practical living, it could have been so much better. ##### Robert Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Rebecca Jul 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### Lovely hotel but had a few issues On arriving, receptionist was on the phone, so we waited. Then when the call was ended she made another call saying to us I’ll be with you in a moment? Bit rude as we were standing there in the flesh? Went into the bar in the evening and ordered 2 drinks from the bar, we were told to take a seat and they would be brought over to us. We waiting over 20 minutes and had to leave as we were attending a concert so never had our drinks. Apart from those two things our room was lovely, although did look a bit worn in places. The bath was amazing and bed very comfortable. View was perfect. Also most staff were friendly. Would return but maybe needs either more staffing or training. ##### Rebecca Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roger Oct 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort A very central hotel ideally positioned to see the sights and opposite the cathedral with nicely appointed rooms, even a bath in the room. Breakfast was excellent with a good choice on offer. Restaurant was also fun with a good range of dishes in a reasonably quiet ambiance. We enjoyed our stay. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c1d18757-b7a2-4e89-91d2-51bb7505cce7-1760977074533.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/aab3a750-1573-43eb-9e7c-8233d9b0535a-1760977124167.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3399e6c3-070d-481c-8114-dce1c9d7f697-1760977125131.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Roger Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Parkview Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/High-Wycombe-Hotels-Parkview-Apartments.h32463857.Hotel-Information) > - [Hollington Park Glamping](https://www.expedia.ca/Newbury-Hotels-Hollington-Park-Glamping.h45711187.Hotel-Information) > - [Stone Court House](https://www.expedia.ca/Maidstone-Hotels-Stone-Court-House.h78591680.Hotel-Information) > - [Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Low-Wood-Bay.h5243.Hotel-Information) > - [Harbour Hotel St Ives](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Ives-Hotels-St-Ives-Harbour-Hotel.h175599.Hotel-Information) > - [YHA South Downs - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Lewes-Hotels-YHA-South-Downs-Hostel.h11535970.Hotel-Information) > - [No Man's Fort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-No-Mans-Fort.h11536410.Hotel-Information) > - [Green Dragon, Welton by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.ca/Brough-Hotels-Green-Dragon.h11899193.Hotel-Information) > - [The Salt House](https://www.expedia.ca/Ilfracombe-Hotels-The-Salt-House.h35168504.Hotel-Information) > - [The Jack Russell](https://www.expedia.ca/Andover-Hotels-The-Jack-Russell.h22409152.Hotel-Information) > - [Headlands - Room Only Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Falmouth-Hotels-Headlands-Room-Only-Accommodation.h7374570.Hotel-Information) > - [The White Hart Royal Hotel, Moreton-in-Marsh](https://www.expedia.ca/Moreton-In-Marsh-Hotels-White-Hart-Royal-Hotel.h3848404.Hotel-Information) > - [The Pearl Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-The-Pearl-Hotel.h6335144.Hotel-Information) > - [Carrington House Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bournemouth-Hotels-Carrington-House-Hotel.h478887.Hotel-Information) > - [The Manor House](https://www.expedia.ca/Scarborough-Hotels-The-Manor-House.h44509462.Hotel-Information) > - [Royal Hotel Sheerness](https://www.expedia.ca/Sheerness-Hotels-Royal-Hotel-Sheerness.h4050087.Hotel-Information) > - [YotelAIR London Gatwick ](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Yotel-Air-London-Gatwick.h18969729.Hotel-Information) > - [Pennyhill Park Hotel And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Bagshot-Hotels-Pennyhill-Park-Hotel-And-Spa.h517256.Hotel-Information) > - [Manor House Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Haltwhistle-Hotels-Manor-House-Inn.h57378043.Hotel-Information) > - [The George](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-George-Hotel.h45140643.Hotel-Information) > - [The White Hart](https://www.expedia.ca/Lewes-Hotels-The-White-Hart.h3564.Hotel-Information) > - [Balincourt Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Bournemouth-Hotels-Balincourt-Guest-House.h2626067.Hotel-Information) > - [Harvey House](https://www.expedia.ca/Chesterfield-Hotels-Harvey-House.h37976062.Hotel-Information) > - [Macdonald Hill Valley Hotel, Golf and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Whitchurch-Hotels-Macdonald-Hill-Valley-Hotel.h1334283.Hotel-Information) > - [A stunning luxury lodge, perfect for a couples retreat or family break.](https://www.expedia.ca/Ripon-Hotels-2-Bedroom-Accommodation-In-West-Tanfield.h83658218.Hotel-Information) > - [The Blue Boar - Maldon](https://www.expedia.ca/Maldon-Hotels-The-Blue-Boar-Maldon.h103710681.Hotel-Information) > - [Tides Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Pevensey-Hotels-Tides-Cottage.h42241061.Hotel-Information) > - [Delta Hotels by Marriott Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Peterborough-Marriott-Hotel.h691233.Hotel-Information)
