Overall Disappointing

Disappointed with our stay here. Receptionists were helpful during check in and with local information. Parking on site which is good. Room was ok pretty basic and boring considering the history of the building. Complementary tv, coffee and biscuits but a bottle of water would have been good as well. No smart TV and the HD channels were muted for some reason. So had to watch in SD. Shower was nice but had my pet hate of a build up of limescale on the nozzles so this reduces power, obviously not properly cleaned or inspected. But the biggest issue was the sleeping, bed was awful and noisy, any movement and it creaked as well as our room being next to the some sort of air conditioning shed which was directly next to our window constantly making a noise. We had little sleep. Unfortunately it was too late at night to make a change when we discovered these things after getting into bed. Left feedback at reception but no response from the management.

A very well located hotel with great decor! Our room and bathroom was clean and fresh! A good sized twin room with enough space for 2 sharing adults. We had a good night sleep without any disturbance from traffic noise or other guests. Breakfast was plentiful and cooked well, with great vegetarian options. This hotel is right opposite the cathedral and on a high street with many restaurants and coffee shops. Thank you to the staff at reception and breakfast for a great service with a smile.
