We stayed for 2 nights, hotel was easy to find. Car parking good(you have to pay but good spacing) get in early to get a space. Checked in easily by a friendly staff member. Lift to room, room was large dated but very clean and a comfy bed. Coffee biscuits and realy nice toiletries available. Breakfast plentiful and hot. It seemed a busy hotel with various functions but our room was very quiet. Plus the No 10 was a great space.

Although the hotel is looking a bit tired, it’s steeped in history which we loved. The Churchill room is definitely worth a look in, to learn about our most famous prime minister’s times at the hotel and his political exploits. The evening meal was excellent in terms of variety, quality of food and service. Breakfast was great too. Our room was very shabby but I opted not to upgrade. If I had, I probably would have ended up with a higher quality room for a still reasonable price. Great to support these old hotels - they ought to be preserved and cherished.

Hotel sited in a place with bus and tram stops a short walk from Hotel. First room we were allocated had a fault with lighting and insecure door locking system also double bed pushed right up against the wall ok for younger generation, manager quickly moved ourselves to another room which was what we should have had in the first place, bit of mish mash furniture but comfortable bed and clean room. Really good breakfast . parts of the hotel now a bit tired but we will be back
