“Great location - friendly hosts”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

Great location, very close to central shopping/entertainment area. Can't quibble at the price for the location, nice welcome and friendly staff. Great shower and comfy bed. Didn't try the food so can't comment unfortunately.

The only downside is the parking. Don't be fooled by the 'ample free parking available' the parking at the rear of the hotel is inadequate for anything other than a smart car or smaller. There may well be free parking at the front of the hotel, but there may just as easily not be. There is a car park facility, that whilst fine for me, if I were not so steady on my feet, or travelling with people with limited mobility, would think it's a bit far away and a bit too steep. This was the only real downside to the hotel though.

Location is close to the centre of town and some great restaurants, it's quite literally a minutes walk but doesn't seem to suffer from any noise issues.
Bed was exceptionally comfortable, and shower was excellent. Made a really nice change from the usual Premier Inn fare for work trips.

If you're fairly mobile, would happily recommend.

“Great Location, Friendly & Helpful Hosts!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2011 via mobile

My wife and I stayed 3 nights during the Agatha Christie Festival. Our room was well equipped with a four poster bed and included free wifi Internet. Inclusive breakfast encompassed all the usuals, but we were pleasantly surprised to find that they provided hot breakfast for vegetarians as well. Free Parking was a short stroll up the street. Hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful. I'd recommend The Palms to anyone!

“Warm welcome”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2011

Tidy, comfortable twin room available.
There are quite a few external stairs plus the flights inside, so if you are disabled or have problems with stairs, this will be difficult.
There was a lovely comfortable lounge with plenty of room to spread out.
The hosts were friendly and helpful.
Good value for money, with a fitness workout included!!
