Convenient location
Very convenient for shops and the train station. Friendly and very helpful staff. Parking on site. "Faded glory" perhaps describes the building best, old fashioned decor, bar and breakfast room functional but not inviting. If you have any mobility needs, even just an aching knee, mention it when booking as we were given a room at the top of the building accessed by 60 stairs..

Good property for staying in the centre of town. Our room was a very good size and well equipped with a small kitchen. Clean. The breakfast was adequate for my husband but little choice for a gluten free vegan.

There’s a handy car park at the rear of the property with video surveillance. Ideal for a biker. The staff are personable and friendly. I was made feel most welcome. The facilities in the room are everything you need. No complaints there. The building, fixtures and fittings are old and shabby. The carpet in the room has burns and stains. In need of replacement. The one no-no is that the cups in the room were dirty, with ring stains from previous beverages. I had to wash a cup before making a cuppa.

Old Hotel is perfect for the stay.
Old City Hotel kept in great condition and affording a large room with comfortable beds and good room facilities. En-suite was fine - and despite the weather being warm and the hotel not being air-conditioned, the room remained cool at all times as did the whole hotel. Breakfast was cooked to order with very tasty and good quality food - and a more than adequate choice to eep us happy for four days.
