Nice cosy English hotel.
Third time using this hotel, staff are friendly and eager to help. The property is a typical old English hotel with no elevator but has a cosy feel of which my family enjoyed on all three stays.

Pleasant stay
Room was clean, comfortable and had basic amenities. Rooms are aged and look tired but this really does not bother me.
Breakfasts and parking were included in the room rate and they both were good.
Friendly staff.

Ideal position for accessing town centre
Unfortunately we were in the main hotel which is very dated. There was no proper blind on the bathroom windows which meant that people could see us when the light was on and it was dark. No privacy. The room was very dimly lit, the curtains were faded and the material was splitting .The bed was not too comfortable , the mattress needs replacing. Thecooked breakfast was tasty and served hot. The carpark was easily accessible Had no problems parking

Convenient location
Very convenient for shops and the train station. Friendly and very helpful staff. Parking on site.
"Faded glory" perhaps describes the building best, old fashioned decor, bar and breakfast room functional but not inviting. If you have any mobility needs, even just an aching knee, mention it when booking as we were given a room at the top of the building accessed by 60 stairs..

Good property for staying in the centre of town.
Our room was a very good size and well equipped with a small kitchen. Clean.
The breakfast was adequate for my husband but little choice for a gluten free vegan.

There’s a handy car park at the rear of the property with video surveillance. Ideal for a biker.
The staff are personable and friendly. I was made feel most welcome.
The facilities in the room are everything you need. No complaints there.
The building, fixtures and fittings are old and shabby. The carpet in the room has burns and stains. In need of replacement.
The one no-no is that the cups in the room were dirty, with ring stains from previous beverages. I had to wash a cup before making a cuppa.

Old Hotel is perfect for the stay.
Old City Hotel kept in great condition and affording a large room with comfortable beds and good room facilities. En-suite was fine - and despite the weather being warm and the hotel not being air-conditioned, the room remained cool at all times as did the whole hotel. Breakfast was cooked to order with very tasty and good quality food - and a more than adequate choice to eep us happy for four days.
