Lovely,quirky ,historic hotel.

The hotel is a fabulous historic building so as long as you accept this then you will enjoy your stay. Free parking, a lovely welcome and very friendly staff. Room was clean, bathroom had towels, soap,shampoo etc. Bed was a bit saggy and road noise kept me awake for a while, old sash windows do not seal completely. Would definitely stay again

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Please do not stay here . I have backpacked around the world and this was up there with the worst nights ever. My room was filthy. Nothing had been moved to vaccum and the shower curtain was mouldy, to name a few things.Bethroom floor was lifting and carpet stained and filthy. Matress was so old and uncomfortable. Worst part was though really got no sleep as everytime someone opened a door or walked along the hall my bedroom door shook like someone was breaking in. Luckily by 3am I figured out if i put towels under the door it limited the movement enough to just be a little shake. I had already tried other things. You could also hear everything in the next door rooms. I didnt expect fancy for the price but clean and functional would have been nice. Sad to see a historic building treated like this

Good as a practical hotel for short stays, historic buffs and best of all, budget and close to Octagon and surrounds. No complaints, I read poor reviews - didn't turn me off - happy to save money to spend else where in Dunners. Front counter staff maybe could do with a little updating on 'warm service'.

Not a great review. Black mould on the shower silicone, spa bath and bathroom extract fan not working, from my point of view lacking in daily house keeping, and no reply at all from the hotel staff addressing these issues. On the positive side, location was extremely central, a very spacious room, reception staff were friendly and very accessible hotel specific parking (across the road).
