Enjoyed a lovely weekend at the Doric hotel. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The hotel itself was very clean and nicely decorated. The food was very nice. The drinks were very reasonably priced. We were very happy with our annex room.

We have stated at the Doric on a few occasions and as a family of 4 (kids 10&8) we find it fits our needs well. Staff are always friendly,food enjoyable and served well and the added bonus of the pool and evening entertainment which we always enjoy. We will be back there again in the future I'm sure.

Don’t judge a book by its cover
Reception area on arrival is lovely and modern. But looks can be deceiving. Venture up the stairs and you step through a time warp into what can only be described as something akin to Fawlty Towers. The stairs and landing are out of the ark with dated carpets and yellowing anaglypta. The family room that greeted us was no better. Threadbare carpet in places, mattresses that clearly had not been changed in many a year. Lovely antique ceiling tiles and with an appealing brown frame!!! An avenging wooden window overlooked the incredibly noisy extract fan from the kitchens!! Next morning I asked to change rooms and the very friendly receptionist obliged and put us in a more modern room, which was a little more comfy due to the updated decor and fittings, however the same ceiling tiles were still a feature. The bathroom was still dated and still overlooking the extract fan, however the double glazing of this window helped to dull the drone, and the beds, whilst a little better, were still quite worn. Breakfast was mediocre at best, and if, like us, you were not dining at night you are treated as second class citizens in the table provision, as you were reserved your breakfast table at dinner the previous evening. Generally the hotel staff, give or take a few, were friendly and helpful. Hotel is right opposite the tram stop, so that was useful. Needless to stay we won’t be back.

Good value hotel
Nice enough hotel, good sized family rooms, and included breakfast and dinner. Bathroom in our room was very dated and smells badly of cigarettes and noise from the hotel directly beneath our room until after 10pm each night, but nice and quiet after that so we slept well. Staff were all friendly but the service at dinner was painfully slow and disjointed, especially if you had kids because they had a separate menu, it took nearly 2 hours to get all our courses. Parking outside the hotel was difficult to find a space but there was parking avaliable for free on local streets. Also a good location for the north end of the illuminations which we thought was the better part.

An enjoyable stay overall. Positives:Meal on the evening was very good and the hotel has been nicely refurbished downstairs. Hotel is in a nice location and we got parked on the side street next to the hotel. Negatives: Our room was too hot making it difficult to sleep. The coffee cups at breakfast on our table hadn’t been cleaned properly.

Friendly staff, families with children get the best deal . Children running round unsupervised were a hazard. The one lift was very slow. We were on the fourth floor and stairs were difficult with worn carpets. Flooring to rooms was creaky and walls thin between rooms causing ability to hear talking in next room. Bed was a small double which was very uncomfortable. Disappointed with so called “sea view “ Air con required in dining/ entertainment room. Food was very good.

Not the best. Bad creaky floorboards. On the 4th floor that’s all I could hear day and night. Tiny lift only fits 2 people in so if you have mobility issues and don’t want to wait about move rooms

Room looked nothing like the pictures on the hotel website. We were placed in a family room that was old dull and by it's sell by date. Toilet didn't flush took 3 days to be fixed. extremely noisy at night due to a generator noise outside the room window which was on constantly until the early hours of the morning. Family room not suitable when you have kids with this going on. Entertainment very loud while in room

Overall good but all-inclusive package lacking
We had a great few days. We paid for the all inc and didn't regret it. The free tram pass was a surprise and well used. Breakfast was good made better by Louise and the team .I did expect pastries etc at Breakfast as I don't particularly like meat so was disappointed and the all-inclusive didn't start till 3pm which considering the cost for the package was a little pathetic,hence the title
