We had a very warm welcome, our room was nice, clean and cosy, and the breakfast options were delicious. The hotel is perfectly situated for exploring the city centre and what it has to offer. We’ve had a really lovely weekend stay.

A lovely place to stay. Close proximity to things to visit. Staff are really lovely particular mention to Stuart in the dining room ,lovely to see a cheery smile first thing in the morning. Finally the breakfast what can I say just excellent
The city walls and minster cathedral was 5 minute walk away leading straight to the shops restaurants and bars all within easy access plus having the car park is a blessing,the railway station and railway museum was about 15 minute walk away,the staff at the hotel where pleasant helpful and polite with no issues,the room was comfortable clean and warm so would we stay again yes with no issues
Had a brilliant stay here with my son. It was super central, the bed was very comfy and room was very clean! All you need when you’re on a sightseeing holiday. Breakfast at the hotel was great value for money too- continental plus cooked breakfast if desired, all for £12.50 . The staff were always friendly and accommodating- the receptionist was lovely giving us recommendations for food etc x
