Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Room was very tired and lighting was appalling - virtually non existent. Room was uncomfortably hot with no means to control temperature. Tv did not work and we were told there was nothing they could do about it. Previous guests clothes left in room. Breakfast very poor - very little for vegetarians and fruit looked a month old.

The room was lovely and spacious. The receptionist was very polite and helpful what more could we ask for
The new carpets are amazing make the prince of wales feel fresh and awake again lots of work being done hope they are able to do this through out makes it feel so grand
We were surprised how lovely this old hotel is, was expecting not that great but we had an excellent time and the hotel is lovely! The reception staff were very helpful and polite and check in/out was quick and simple! The guys behind the bar were both cheerful and chatted with us.
Our family room consisted of 2 bedrooms, a double bed and twin beds. It was very warm and toasty. (only one complaint we were woken up around 7am by a loud noise outside, maybe a generator or something?)
Breakfast was pretty decent too.
Location is perfect for everything.
We definitely would stay again too!

It was my colleague who stayed at the hotel. He has stayed there before which was why he requested it again.

The bar closed very early, the overall condition of the building is a little run down, our headboard wasn’t fixed to the wall there were several maintenance issues, overall for the price it was an average hotel. The staff were friendly and the bedroom was clean if a little dated
The only problems we had is the shampoo and body wash was empty and the heating doesn't come on until 8 pm so the room was cold to start with. But that's it . The team where excellent and good / was brilliant. Would stay here again
Got kicked out of the hotel after arriving back from a meal and a couple of drinks went back to hotel to finish our night to listen to the live singer, my partner and I wasn’t drunk but the manager had refused to serve my partner drinks and said we’ve had enough when I went over to speak to him he would not discuss the situation with me and instead of talking to me about it and give me a proper reason why you wouldn’t save any drinks to us he called the police. when they arrived five minutes later, feed police vans, two police cars and 15 offices. after talking to them all night and calmly they didn’t seem there was a problem show me went back to our room. The officers went. The manager had only gone into our room when we were out and locked the bathroom door so we could not use the facilities in our room I went back down to reception and told them the bathroom door was locked for some reason and we could not go into bathroom they called the police again then us to leave couldn’t get my car cause I’ve been drinking so we went off to find another hotel for the night which we got one which is 10 times better than the one we got kicked out of. I want a complete refund. cause we didn’t end up staying the night.
