The hotel is in an excellent location next to the railway station, which makes it really handy for getting about and crashing out after a long train journey. Upon arrival at 8.45pm on a Friday, I was very disappointed to find the restaurant closed and no other cold or hot food options available in the bar, where there's a sign... More

Checked into the hotel which looks like something out an Agatha Christie novel. Reception was good and very friendly. Room was very cold, the window being left open by housekeeping didn't help. The radiator obviously wasn't working either. I rang to reception for assistance, none came, Rang again this time somebody arrived with an oil filled radiator ( something told... More

Feels as if managed by staff who have a genuine interest in the hotel's success. Unfailingly competent and friendly in a way corporate hotels rarely manage to achieve. A pleasant, faded splendour restaurant with a better than average menu erratically delivered. Quality probably varies depending on the chef on duty. Rooms satisfy their purpose and are surprisingly quiet although the... More

Very good service on arrival from reception, efficient and friendly. Room very average. Dark wood isn't helped by poor lighting. Only one bedside lamp in double room, no dressing table just 2 units for storage (one storing an empty wine bottle from previous occupants). Linen clean and crisp and very comfortable bed. Small bathroom with no bath but 2 shower... More

My sister and I both enjoyed our short stay there last November and particularly appreciated its location across... More

Went to round table ball last night and just wanted to say we had a great time. Staff were very friendly and efficient even with all the snow and very late night. Would definitely go back. Night duty manager was very helpful with all the last minute taxis request! More

We would like to thank the Great Northern Hotel team for a fantastic christmas party. My colleagues and I had our Christmas party at the hotel and the food we was served was lovely, the meat melted in your mouth, the sprouts were a little bit firm but other than that we thoroughly enjoyed the food. The decorations within the... More

Meal booked for 8 annual Xmas party. Assuming as previous years coming upto Christmas would need to book in advance. After 4 email/phone conversations was proving to be a bit difficult. New chef hired, new menus due 1st December, 3rd December still waiting! After yet another email, menus arrived. Christmas menu or a la carte which should we choose? Christmas... More
