Building looked fantastic outside only thing missing was basil faulty himself, after conflicts over our booking we was finally given a cold shabby room , stayed in many cheap city hotels & B&B,s before but even found management & staff quite rude so immediately booked into a travellodge almost opposite. just wish we had took notice of the bad reviews...

I was a bit dubious about staying here after reading the trip advisor reviews. But upon staying here I was overjoyed! My room was clean, very homely and I had been informed that they had been painted very recently. It really is a beautiful building, the staff were lovely so helpful, a lovely girl helped me sort out my hairdressers... More

Not only was the bull and stirrup good value for money it was clean, comfortable and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Continental breakfast was perfectly expectable. A million times better than the last time I visited in 2010. Will definitely stay again.

i have stayed here before and was glad to see that the services were better than the time before. we were happily greeted upon arrival and our bags taken up to our room while we had a drink in the bar. We then went to our room which was very clean and airy. After settling in we were advised by... More

We stayed here for one night. The beds were clean, thankfully, but the decor was very tired. A coat of paint would have made such a difference. Also the shower didn't work which means that no-one had checked it. At £64 for bed and Continental breakfast, we could say that it was cheap, however, we also noticed (too late) that... More

OK It's cheap but the least you would expect was that it would be clean. No!! We were shown to our room which slept three. The spare duvets on the beds were dirty and stained and we put those out of site in the wardrobe. There were no carpets on the floor and our feet were sticking to it and... More

We recently spent a night at this hotel. I would not recommend a visit. Firstly the booking was incorrect, the hotel and rooms were freezing cold. The bathroom light did not work, nor did the shower and all the fittings were crudely installed with no seals. there were no drinks available in the room, not even a glass to get... More

Obviously the new owners have a work in progress but I found the staff very hospitable and there was an extended family atmosphere. Bargain price at £25 for single room. Free parking onsite. There was traffic noise but what do you expect from a city centre hotel?!! Just over the road and you are inside the city walls.... ideal. Would... More
