4/10 Poor

This once grand railway hotel is in poor and tired condition. Very overpriced
Catherine, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

It is a nice hotel but perhaps a bit dated. It is right next to the train station so very convient.
Marie, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Hotel is ok for an overnight stay and due to its proximity to the train and bus stations is well placed. However the furniture in our room was in poor condition and the cooked breakfast was not good value. In general it all felt a bit sad. Possibly stay at Premier Inn or similar next time.
Janette, 1-night trip

8/10 Good
