A railway hotel with a grand entrance and one of the most dramatic staircases. Two nights in January and handy for both the railway station and the bus station. Room comfortable and bed good and large enough. Breakfast options good though on first day pastries a bit past their best. Enjoyed it though did not use the restaurant.

Beautiful Hotel with very local staff who are not professional and the level of expertise does not match the grandeur of the hotel. Also some parts of the room were in disrepair.

Property was in a convenient location. Staff was pretty friendly. Lift was not working and I had 2 luggage’s. Had to ask for someone to assist but had to wait about 20 minutes which wasn’t ideal for those who spent a whole morning traveling. The hotel is nicely preserved but does need a bit of upgrading which can be done to historical buildings such as this one.

Usually a lovely hotel to stop at when heading north but was given the worse room ever- 320z Slanted floor, electrical points unsafe and low beams. Was also freezing. Asked evening manager for another room and was refused. Lovely lassy next day told me there had been many other rooms available.

The price was favourable in comparison with other places in town. The bed was the comfiest I've slept in for ages! The bedroom was nicely roomy, and very cosy with the wall heater working well. The bath which contained shower wasn't too high which was a thankful bonus re my joints! The bath could do with a recolouring (guess you can't grout/sand/colour a bath the same as you can a wall!!) a few inches along from the plug hole inclusive, in varying parts. Noise factor - was aware of hearing talking from room next door and could hear water running/ toilet flushing like it was in my own room - maybe 3rd floor is where the servants lived in bygone era! All in all a good stay - all staff I met were very nice and helpful.

sash window in room 304 wasn't secure. The wind howled in through major gaps between the windows and it rattled something terrible Although no staff came in to tidy which is fine, it would have been nice to at least have a top up of the hospitality tray
