A railway hotel with a grand entrance and one of the most dramatic staircases. Two nights in January and handy for both the railway station and the bus station. Room comfortable and bed good and large enough. Breakfast options good though on first day pastries a bit past their best. Enjoyed it though did not use the restaurant.

Raffaele

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Rooms were very dated with damaged furniture (desk) and dented electric heater on the wall. The restaurant was very overpriced - £25 for basic fish and chips which had raw batter - and service was lacking. After waiting to get someone’s attention for about 15 minutes, in an almost empty room, I got up and order a drink at the bar. Better options in the area for the price.
