7.6/10 Good! (530 reviews)
Don't expect a pristine hotel. It is old which adds to the character however, plug sockets were hanging loose, some not working. Being a bit picky - sealant around the shower was smudged on. One pillow was twice the size of the other on the double bed and no way suitable to sleep on. Needs a little TLC but appreciate it's hard with such an old building. Did not have breakfast so can't comment.
