Hotel staff didn’t great us on entry, just stood there doing some work, the room was okay, not high quality, but clean, but we had a room next a street that had a pub with outside drinkers which were very noisy until early hours and a generator that came on and off! Not what we expected.

Good size room and clean. Nice complementary bathroom products. Only thing I would say that lets the room/bathroom down is the poor lighting for applying makeup. Friendly helpful staff and breakfasts was very nice. Great location for theatre and some lovely restaurants. Would definitely stay again.

All the staff were friendly, the bedroom was pretty spacious and clean. Only area that let the hotel down a little was the bathroom. It was clean but the plumbing for the hand basin was noisy and the shower, over the bath, was clearly quite old and not very efficient, taking a long time to warm up and then only to a fairly tepid temperature. We never ate there so can't comment on the quality of the food but there was a nice bar. It is right on the middle of the High Street but we didn't notice any noise and all the main shops, restaurants, bars and sites are probably within a 10 minute walk
