    Not sure that we were informed that there would be a charge for the parking until the moment we left, but may have missed this information. It wasn't a vast amount but came as a surprise.

    Breakfast: Couldn't fault it, help yourself and was plentiful. Room: Unfortunately got a room next to the cleaning/linen store, so bit noisy with doors banging at 7.00 am! Otherwise quiet during night and very comfortable Location: Brilliant and perfect

    Unfortunately appeared to be directly above the function area where there was an extremely noisy wedding reception which went on until midnight. We were not warned of this prior to our arrival.

    Lovely room overlooking the Cathedral and very comfortable. Fabulous 1960s architecture.

    We where on the second floor and getting out of the lift the smell of urine hit us terribly it was really awful the whole floor smelled which was really off putting.

    Everything our room was a little old fashioned but was beautifully clean

    It was a little ‘tired’. A little TLC will bring it up to scratch!

    The property is in a good location directly opposite the cathedral. Other amenities are within easy access, but there is a steep hill! Very helpful pleasant staff

    The decorations are very 1980s and the hotel needs updating! The room was dark and old fashioned. The price of the hotel room and car park charge didn't impress! There was a lot of noise late at night, probably from the wedding party, but I realise that wasn't the hotel's fault.

    Great breakfast choices. Close to the cathedral. The few members of staff we spoke to were friendly and helpful.

    It was ok, but I thought it looked tatty in places. The eggs Benedict at breakfast wasn’t good. The bun wasn’t toasted and I had ham instead of bacon. There wasn’t enough staff on as everything kept running out and I had to keep asking for things

    The location of the hotel was perfect. The bed was really comfortable and the shower was really good

    Can’t think of anything.

    Breakfast was brilliant. Marmite was available 👏🏻 and the smoked haddock and poached egg was perfect. The location was ideal for me for visiting the cathedral. I had dinner one night which was excellent. All the staff were friendly and helpful.

    Location was excellent and the view from the restaurant is stunning. We stayed 2 nights-the first night the mattress had a crater in it. We asked to swap for the second night and were happily given a room with a bed with a new mattress. It was lovely. The room looked as though it had been refurbished-all apart from the back of the bathroom door. Mattress by in the first room and bathroom door in the second.

    As a note to future residents, parking is £7 for the duration of the stay. Booking.com do not state this charge in their description and at no point between booking and arriving was I told about this, despite exchanging messages with the hotel about parking. It's not a big charge, but naughty of B.com (and the hotel) all the same.

    Location was excellent, right in the centre of the historic city and opposite the cathedral. Staff were friendly and mostly helpful. Plenty of parking (but see below).
