Good building shame about the rest

Rooms were clean but dated beds really not comfortable had better stays in a premier inn. The building was incredible with an amazing history was just a shame to see it not what you’d want to see for such a heritage building

No cleaning provided despite asking poor smell from room bathroom flush not working properly. Overheated rooms, no proper accessories to hang clothes in washroom. No lift have to carry luggage to top floors. No staff at reception half the time. Paid parking. Avoid this one for sure

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
Room allocated was in the basement, not the best...the central heating was blasting out, tried to turn the radiator down but it would not work. Informed the manger on reception who came down to look. The valve was broken he came back with a newer one again that did not work. We had the option to roast alive or put up with the radiator making a loud running water sound. He said it would be passed to maintenance for the next day. Well nothing was done at all . No apologies, no offer to move us rooms or anything else. Due to to this very poor service I would not stay here again or recommend it to anyone
