Hotel in general is good but toilet is small, this maybe because of historical reasons. Bentley tour is not easy for booking if you stay for one night or better check in early as possible to reserve a tour.

The staff really make this hotel
We stay here while visiting family living nearby. The location is great near to family and walking distance to city centre. We love the shops and restaurants in the centre and the hotel restaurant is great as well with good views onto Parkers Piece. The room was very comfortable but there were some stains on the carpet and a little mould on the bathroom ceiling. Whenever we stay at this hotel we have always found the staff to be excellent; friendly, polite and helpful - will obviously stay here again.

A very disappointing experience
The glass sliding door to our shower room had come off its bottom runner and was swinging dangerously when we arrived. The service and quality of food in the restaurant on Sunday evening was dreadful apparently due to staffing problem in the kitchen. There were several mistakes in our bill when we checked out. We had been charged for breakfasts we did not have. The meal bill has been charged twice to our acccount and we are told that this should be sorted out in a few days!

Lovely hotel and room, although the room was looking a little tired in places. Great welcome from staff on arrival. I had checked in advance for a vegan breakfast and was assured this was not a problem and indeed I was given a vegan breakfast menu on check-in, which looked fab. Tried to order this at breakfast but the restaurant staff (and kitchen) acted as if they had never seen the menu before. We were then told that the Vegan Menu options of Tofu Omelette and Vegan sausages, were NOT vegan at all. And there were also no saute potatoes or hash browns available. I ended up with one mushroom, some avocado and some sliced raw tofu (unflavoured and inedible) and toast made with bread I had brought myself (gluten free and vegan). Reception staff did deduct breakfast from the bill, but the hassle we had with the restaurant staff over trying to order something vegan for breakfast really spoiled the day. For a hotel of this standard in a thriving, cosmopolitan city, I expected better. I would expect a full vegan breakfast to be available on the menu as a standard option. There is no excuse for it not being in this day and age.

Hotel lacks personality, decor bland modern, lighting harsh as an airport even in bar and dining room, no atmosphere at all. Bar food not good. Accessible bedroom excellent- well thought out with lots of walkable space, very comfortable king size bed. Reception staff helpful, bar and waiting staff would benefit from more training. Hotel position excellent- pity all character has been removed.

Property has real potential as Reception Staff and the two young bartenders are friendly and courteous. It ends there though as the Bar Manager (can only assume he was the manager as he he was only one in a blazer) was rude and had horrible service skills on both experiences with him. After the second encounter on our last night we came to the conclusion we would never return to the hotel. The hotel itself is nice but the bad taste one rude staff can have on a trip shouldn’t be understated.
