We stayed 2 nights at the queen's hotel- the facilities/decor was a bit worn, but was still pleasant. There was some mold in the bathroom, otherwise the room was clean and comfortable. Having only a few outlets in the room was challenging. The staff was very pleasant.

Lift not working again, unsafe for guests

I stayed in a single room, or should l say shoe box. The room was more like a corridor with a single bed on it, terrible to say the least and charged £241 for two nights. It the third time (will be last) lve stopped at the Queens Hotel in the last 2 moths and second time the lift was not working, luckily lm quite fit and can readily use the stairs, but on several occasions there were elderly/infirm people struggling on the stairs! Management where not helping or ensuring an accident did not occur! Shame on you management not to inform potential guests before booking!
