The City Hotel

The room was clean, warm, comfortable and well presented, with nice touches like a little dish of sweets. The location was excellent, very central and it was easy to walk everywhere I wanted to go. It felt safe and secure for a solo traveller.

The place was easy to find and there is on-street parking, the staff was lovely, professional, courteous and knowledgeable about the city, they gave me advice on where to park and where to eat. Wonderful staff, really, going above and beyond for our satisfaction and enjoyment of their place and the city. The room was clean, well decorated, rather large and full of amenities - plenty of towels, complimentary toiletries, a tea and coffee station, a TV, places to hang our clothes and to put our bags down. Spotless bathroom with tub. Really, really nice place. Functional BUT also cosy, we felt immediately comfortable there.

The room and facilities were pristine, very comfortable and modern yet homely. There has clearly been a lot of thought, consideration and care that has gone into every aspect of the details. There were many little things which were actually big things in terms of making my stay feel special and me personally welcome. Although I didn't eat there I was grateful for the glass of sweets left out for me on the condiment tray and for the warm welcome and check in. Fantastic location, fantastic facilities and generally lovely people. I will definitely return!

I was going with low expectations as it is a half hotel-half pub (related to noise which you can here some things but nothing crazy or constant) but it exceeded my expectations. The hotel is small, comfy and with a lot of British personality. The staff working there could not be more nice, incredible and welcoming. They do serve a full English breakfast that I cannot recommend enough, specially because of it's affordability. If I have to say something negative: Maybe it is time for the rooms to get a bit of a renovation, mainly the matresses though I did have a good sleep.

The hotel was in a great location with easy access to the main historical sights. Check-in was easy and the team member was friendly and escorted me to my room. She showed me the various keys and clearly explained the access code for the security door. The room was a compact size, nicely decorated and very clean. The single bed was comfortable and there was adequate storage. There was a supply of tea/coffee and a chocolate, some sweets and biscuits which was a nice welcome.
