Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praised the hotel's excellent location, highlighting its central position and proximity to attractions and dining options. The unique historic character and vibe of the hotel were also appreciated by many. However, there were significant concerns about cleanliness, with multiple mentions of mold, musty smells, and general lack of hygiene. Noise from the pub and street was a common complaint, affecting guests' sleep quality. Room size was noted as small, and some guests found the rooms and facilities outdated and in need of maintenance. Bed comfort received mixed feedback, with some guests finding them comfortable despite the overall aged condition of the hotel.
