The situation I found myself in when I stayed here was similar to that of a couple experiencing an unplanned pregnancy - A period of total panic and stress, followed by sheer joy. I only ended up staying in this hotel after being overbooked by the Travelodge (who arranged this stay as an alternative) and, to be quite honest, i'm... More

We paid less than a travel lodge, the room number 6 was large enought and spacious. With a listed waderobe. It overlooks the main street and revolution night club. We were aware of them kicking out so if you are particularly light sleepers I would suggest avoiding the rooms on this side. All the staff we met were polite and... More

We stayed in mid-April for a wedding and we got a lovely, huge room with a big size bathroom (room 27). The room was clean and it had all the essentials (kettle, iron etc). There were however some minor issues, for instance the "king size" bed was two twin beds joined together. It didn't bother me as much but my... More

We stayed there for a night at the end of our holiday. We were pleased with the location and impressed by the standard of the decor and how well the property has been modernised, given the original building must be at least a century old. Location is very central which is convenient, but it does mean that it can be... More

Enjoyed a two night stay here whilst attending a wedding. Booked room only with a very good advance rate - added breakfast on arrival, glad we did! Room & bedding fresh & clean. Staff friendly & very helpful - in fact the best reception staff we have encountered for a while. Car parking nearby seemed OK. Easy walk into the... More

For the second time this year I had the pleasure of staying at the Penny Street Bridge. My room with 2 twin beds was nice but much smaller than the queen bed in the room I had in January. Thehotel is centrally located, within walking distance of the castle, shopping and some really great pubs. A laundry facility is also... More
