Clean,comfy friendly stay, adequate however tad pricey. If staying with children avoid weekend. Not because of hotel, neighbours are very noisey !! No sleep due to party. Hotel staff and owners are very accommodating and friendly, breakfast fantastic. More

I stayed there for 2 nights on 3rd & 4th April and had an en-suite single room. It was very small but not claustrophobic and the shower was much larger than expected. On arrival I was greeted by a friendly receptionist who offered to carry my bags. My room had a TV, hairdryer, kettle with tea bags, wardrobe with hangers... More

I've been booking stays at the Telstar for almost 30 years. I've seen lots of changes there- - all for the good. John and Jan have doubled the size of the hotel and 'upgraded' the premises to an 'old world charm ' (well, coming from Canada - anything over 50 years old is old wold charm!!). They've done a very... More

Very nice, family run hotel, with lovely, helpful staff and a home away from home, Just around the corner form the city centre. Clean, has character, good value for money. I will book this hotel again for my next trip. More

I spent one night here in a single room on the first floor which overlooked the main road - no en-suite but there was a shared bathroom and separate toilet on the same floor. Staff were OK, but the room wasn't great - smelled of stale cigarette smoke and even leaving the window open most of the evening didn't help.... More

We apologise to this guest that we did not pick up the smell of smoke in his room but if he had reported it to the receptionist he would have been moved to another room immediately. It is of course illegal to smoke in public premises and we have lots of signs to that effect but unfortunately some people think... More

We were very pleased with the guest house - clean, friendly staff, and convenient. We had the family room (9) which is actually two bedrooms with a bathroom/toilet. There were TVs in both rooms. Room 9 is at the back of the building away from the road and we had no problem with noise. If I had to pick any... More

Stayed 2 nights in room 20 of the Telstar and found it to be reasonably good value for money. Everything was clean enough and well presented, receptionist gave a friendly welcome, and the breakfast was generous, tasty and prompt. My single en suite room was small but adequate, and the bed was very comfortable. It overlooked the road and some... More

I booked directly by phone. Elaine was very polite and helpful, explained the facilities accurately and reassured me would be fine to arrive early (0945hrs). I could use the lounge and toilets: leaving luggage in reception while a room was available was not a problem. The room was available by 11am. The receptionist booked a taxi for me and she... More
