The building itself is beautiful! It does look quite eerie even from outside with it's tall clock tower visible almost from the very train station and there's something alluring about it. The least exciting part of this hotel are rooms which are clean and spacious but nothing out of ordinary. I don 't think the walls are very thick as... More

Queue for about half an hour to get your room key. Hotel could be amazing but would need gutting and starting from scratch. Under no circumstances consider paying the full rate for a room (~£180), but at the discounted rate of £28 for a double, you can't complain

One of the most impressive 1st impressions in a hotel. On entering the hotel which from the outside is a standard Victorian building on a busy road, the reception are is magnificent.
