The staff were nice. No one was there for check-in so we had to phone and wait for 20 minutes. The entry is beautiful but the room walls need scraping and painting. The room and bed were very clean. They are trying very hard to improve and upgrade so they need more customers.

The man at the desk was great. The hotel was completely run down and looked to be under construction. The bar next door blared music until 1am … loudly! There was an open drink and food in the fridge. The room did not seem secure. The curtains didn’t cover all of the windows so we had light coming in all night. This is not a family friendly place and I would not recommend staying here until renovations have been finished.

2/10 Poor

Room was neglected, still had hair and spiders in the shower, no face washers, toilet seat falls on you, bed was hard as a rock, couple in next room were fighting very bad slamming doors and swearing Loudly at 7am made us completely uncomfortable that caused major disruption in our stay. Tea and coffee provided but no little milk?? Whole place needs some major work

What a place, and not in the best way! Built in 1952 for the Queen's inauguration and for her to stay in, she never ended up staying here however and I think I can see why, probably in 1952 it was still a dump. We stayed in a regular room that felt more like an SRO than a hotel room. Yes it was clean however it was super, super dated! Obviously no renovations have been done since it was built. I would not stay here again.
