Stayed in this hotel because of the central location and availability of parking (extra £26). Quality of room was excellent as was the breakfast. Bathroom was very compact but adequate with good water pressure. Staff were friendly. Had a slight hiccup at check-in when they charged me for the room even though it had been prepaid; however, this was quickly sorted out at check out.

Hotel in general is good but toilet is small, this maybe because of historical reasons. Bentley tour is not easy for booking if you stay for one night or better check in early as possible to reserve a tour.

Lovely hotel and room, although the room was looking a little tired in places. Great welcome from staff on arrival. I had checked in advance for a vegan breakfast and was assured this was not a problem and indeed I was given a vegan breakfast menu on check-in, which looked fab. Tried to order this at breakfast but the restaurant staff (and kitchen) acted as if they had never seen the menu before. We were then told that the Vegan Menu options of Tofu Omelette and Vegan sausages, were NOT vegan at all. And there were also no saute potatoes or hash browns available. I ended up with one mushroom, some avocado and some sliced raw tofu (unflavoured and inedible) and toast made with bread I had brought myself (gluten free and vegan). Reception staff did deduct breakfast from the bill, but the hassle we had with the restaurant staff over trying to order something vegan for breakfast really spoiled the day. For a hotel of this standard in a thriving, cosmopolitan city, I expected better. I would expect a full vegan breakfast to be available on the menu as a standard option. There is no excuse for it not being in this day and age.

Property has real potential as Reception Staff and the two young bartenders are friendly and courteous. It ends there though as the Bar Manager (can only assume he was the manager as he he was only one in a blazer) was rude and had horrible service skills on both experiences with him. After the second encounter on our last night we came to the conclusion we would never return to the hotel. The hotel itself is nice but the bad taste one rude staff can have on a trip shouldn’t be understated.
