Great location, very helpful staff, nice little touches in the room, excellent breakfast. Rooms could do with a re-furb and my bed was too hard for me, but I would stay there again.

From the moment we checked the staff were excellent and super friendly. Check in was simple and the onsite car park was great too however very limited on spaces.

I was travelling on my own and found all the staff incredibly friendly and helpful. My room was spotless, with very good quality bedding and a comfy mattress. I didn’t have breakfast, so can’t rate that. I had dinner in the Brasserie and thought it excellent value. Would definitely stay this hotel again.

Great location right beside the train station, and close to all tourist attractions. Moreover, you get to experience staying in a historic hotel. I was greeted by the staff with very kind words and enjoyed a wonderful breakfast during my stay. 120/100 RECOMMENDED.

We had a lovely stay.
Very convenient, as it’s cross the road from the train station, also it’s very central.
the staff couldn’t do enough for you, they went out of their way to make sure you had a good stay.
The bedrooms are a little tired so could do with a little TLC.
Would happily stay here again.
