Pros (+) Was more of a B&B
Pros (+) I really didn't like any aspect of this hotel or my stay there.
Cons (-) No outlets by the bed - I have a CPAP machine and the staff was completely baffled as to how to solve my problem. My traveling companion insisted on an extension cord, which they were eventually able to provide, but this is the first hotel EVER in my experience where there were no outlets by the bed.

Pros (+) Room really smells of smoke very grubby . Asked to be moved because if the smell. Next room no better
Pros (+) Excellent location. Breakfast ok.
Cons (-) Cold, smelly room. Noisy. On the ground floor.
Pros (+) The price, location for city centre and railway station
Cons (-) Room noisy due to occupant on floor above and thin and creaky bedroom ceiling. Asking for consideration didn't solve problem. Breakfast poor quallity - no muesli or devent fruit lots of fatty bacon, poor coffee - perhaps it just matched discounted room price bracket so dont pay for breakfast and go and eat somewhere else
Pros (+) Room was very nice and spacious. Breakfast also very good
Pros (+) Nothing
Cons (-) Poor customer service
Pros (+) The hotel is well located and the exterior and central staircase are impressive. Staff were helpful though there was a long queue at check in. Room was functional, but clean and everything worked.
Cons (-) Wifi in room is limited to 20 minutes unless you pay for the premium wifi. Furniture and décor is a bit dated.
Cons (-) Poor wifi availability, and poor connection even in the public areas. The toilet in my room didn't flush properly, I had to 'pump' it to get it to flush. Very dated overall. Breakfast was very average. Very over priced for the quality.
