We stayed here 2 nights and had a nice stay, the only thing that let it down was the shower - it was very poor. Had a nice large room and the bed was comfy. Great location and we managed ok for free parking fortunately

Classy And Worth The Price
I really enjoyed my stay at Prince’s Gate Hotel. The staff were very present with their service whether at the desk or the cleaning staff. The room was fantastic and very decent size, king size bed was comfortable, carpeted, and the bathroom was nice and I got good use from the bath. The facilities were great with heated pools and sauna as well as a restaurant, although I didn’t use the attached restaurant. It was located within 10 minutes from the street shops and less than 5 from pubs and restaurants. The car park on site was fairly small but there was plenty of free parking on the side street. Definitely worth a stay, even for the price.

Prince Gate provided a warm welcome at reception and during our stay. The hotel is in great condition & our room is nicely appointed. A nice touch last night was a pianist playing in the entry. when we returned from dinner. Overall the hotel lived up to its 4.5 rating.
