A beautifully decorated hotel, warm, cosy with friendly staff in a very central location and at a reasonable price. A warm bedroom, comfortable beds, plenty of drawers & wardrobe space, lovely bathroom. The hotel has a nicely decorated bar area & the most stunning wood-panelled breakfast room with historical significance of Scott of the Antarctic - and served an excellent quality breakfast. I definitely recommend this hotel.

Lovely staff at the hotel, extremely helpful and friendly. Rooms clean and bed comfortable. Nice selection of fare at breakfast. Can be a bit noisy if you are on one of the lower floors at night due to its central location.
