I stayed over New year period, the hotel was well positioned for the main city square fireworks
The big draw back for this hotel was noise from the train tracks to the back of the property , the hotel even provide earplugs, whilst they don’t run all night the stretch of track behind the hotel has lots of screeching sections
Reception was very friendly on check in, I was staying with a friend he thought his room was very tired and in need of renovation but when I saw it it was much better proportioned with a balcony than mine, I had an attic room which it looked like it had been renovated but was very small and noisy
We both paid the same
The hotel doesn’t have a bar for guests but it does have a very popular Library bar which had queues most times of the day. Being a resident gave no priority, I found the staff quite rude until you got in and sat down then they were attentive.
Historic hotel but the noise and room would stop me staying again
