    Noisy at night , our window opened onto a fire escape do we couldn’t have it open at night. No air conditioning, separate toilet in very small cupboard . Staff came out for a break and a cigarette on both nights directly below our window each evening and were noisy . Overall poor value for money .

    The room was a little small and quite hot but they provided a fan which was great. The bar was often messy and had nobody at it.

    Great location with an excellent view of the castle! Really friendly staff. Lots of great shops and places to eat nearby and the WiFi was good

    ❌ noisy between 1am and 7am with bins being merchandised on cobbled streets, bottles being emptied, karcher machines cleaning. Relentless. ❌ Fan only in heavily featured nice building. ❌ Annexe building is dark and musty ❌ Reception staff generally disingenuous and distracted and on occasion argumentative if asked a question and have to engage with guests. Witnessed with other guests not just with ourselves.

    ✅Location is great for sight seeing. ✅ After meeting with manager Vincent and discussing unresolved reported issues we were upgraded and relocated to a sister hotel in the group this hotel belongs too. ✅ Cleaners are pleasant and friendly.

    The towels were the worst I’ve ever seen in a hotel especially one that cost this much.

    The location was amazing. The room was interesting although very low ceilings and stairs everywhere which was a little tricky.

    We were in the new block through the back. Room basic but functional. We found it to be pretty noisy, just as guests would be coming through to go to new block, and also that’s where the breakfast room is. Staff were good but I wouldn’t stay here again, found it fairly expensive for what you get but you’re really paying for the location

    It’s in a great location. Just across from the castle.

    I would stay in this hotel again but I would ask not to be given this room

    The room - I booked an executive room for one night and was given Room 15 on the first floor of the main building. In my view this room did not match the billing of an executive room. The door was situated behind a sort of pillar and wouldn't open fully, making it difficult to get in and out with cases. The room had no air con, and although there was a desk fan in the wardrobe it just moved the hot air around (it was a hot day/night). We therefore had to open the windows. As the room faces the main street the noise was continuous through the night and into the morning. Other small things like the small flush didn't work, there was nowhere to put your shower gel etc bottles in the shower, the coat hangers were suspended from plastic blocks which would not hold the hangers with our jackets on them so we couldn't use them. The previous time we stayed at this hotel we had a fantastic room and a great experience, so booking an executive room we expected similar.

    Staff were friendly and proficient Breakfast was excellent Location is perfect Bed was large and comfortable Wi-fi connection was good

    The room was super hot, no air con, just a little ventilator, the windows were little, only one of those had protection against the mosquitos, because of the heat we had to keep the windows open, a lot of noise outside.

    The location is amazing, cannot wish better, it is in the center of everything, a few steps of the castle and the main sights.
