As the reviews here are mixed, I thought it was worth trying a 2 night stay.
Easy to find, large car park at the back, free for guests. Hotel receptionist efficient, but, did not go out of her way to make a particularly welcoming - welcome !
We had room 212, double facing the Cathedral. I had read the reports about "the bells", but, as I intended having a few beers each night to relax, I thought that I would be OK.
Very pleased with the room indeed. Based on other reports here, they must have old and newly refurbished rooms. We must have had the latter. Clean, tidy, large, well lit room. Very impressive shower room. Tea/coffee/hot chocolate, biscuits and a large bottle of water.
Double bed very comfortable. I could not get the air conditioning to work, but, that was probably down to the beer.
Not sure if they turn off the bells overnight, but, I did not hear them until 7am. The bells and the traffic noise was enough to wake me at 7am. Fine as I needed to be up for work. I can appreciate if you are on holiday and want a quiet lie in, you are not going to get one,
Sunday morning breakfast, English cooked to order, cereals, fruit, juices, toast and pastries. Tea and some of the best filter coffee I have had for ages.
Monday breakfast same, but, buffet English help yourself - well happy with that.
Work was paying, but, if it was my money £87 a night a little over priced I think. Judging by how few guests there were around on both days, I think others must think the same. £67 a night would be more realistic.
Would I go back ? sure would and am in fact in a few weeks - work paying again :O)
