The downside is that the room was very warm. We slept with the window open in April and it was still warm.

Good localization. The room is large and cozy. Very atmospheric hotel.

The weather but I did choose to go in April.

The room was very nice. It was nicely laid out, warm and very quiet. It had all the amenities I required for lovely stay.

We was given a room on the top floor. Lift (which only goes up to the 2nd floor), resembled a service lift, not ideal for 2 ppl with luggage. And then had to manoeuvre up a narrow staircase with luggage up to the 3rd floor. Massive bedroom, but desperately needed renovating, carpets stained, bathroom something from the 70s and not clean. And unfortunately the radiators wasn't working (they probably needed bleeding), cold and draughty in that bedroom. Reported to the lady on reception, she was fantastic and told us there was another room on the 1st floor available. So I changed rooms. Room on the 1st floor, heating worked. Lovely bedroom and large bathroom. The lady on reception also tended to the bar, in my opion that is poor management especially when the bar is 24/7 , the staff are clearly over worked. Why not employ more staff to work on a bar? Thank fully we don't drink , and we are more than happy to drink tea. (Which we provided ourselves). I don't think they serve food no more. Good job as probably the reception staff would have to do that too, which would be unfair. The decor throughout, has at some point been tried to look "trendy", but it doesn't work with the furnishings, as the furnishings are good quality classic time pieces, and by painting over the architrave is a travesty, and also painting light switches the same colour is no no. They should off stuck with classic creams for the decor, instead off pea soup green and battleship grey. And why install radiator covers which are too tall to stop the shutters in the bar/lounge area from opening, another decorations cock-up. Staff deserve extra pay.

Lovely location, from outside the building looks wonderful.

That the hotel is cashless. I would like the option to use cash. It would put me off staying again.

The location was great and the hotel has so many beautiful features. The room was huge and really welcoming.

It would have been good if the lift was working.

The hotel had a wonderful historic feel. I was working in town and being off season there I was able to afford to stay at the Central. The rooms were huge and the views across the park were lovely.

Lovely hotel in beautiful location with the crescent gardens and art gallery on doorstep. Hotel had a very calming atmosphere and staff friendly and helpful. Spacious room , really enjoyed my stay and hope to return.

The radiator needed bleeding, as it was only hot halfway up, that was all

We liked the room it was clean, spacious, and well equipped. It was far better than expected for the price paid The staff were helpful and curtious. The hotel was quirky with lots to look at in the reception and bar area. (Although in one part the wallpaper was peeling(on a stair corner), it was not ugly to look at.) There was lots of information in the reception area and an interesting book in our room. We definitely make this hotel our go-to hotel from now on.

The Victorian vibe of this hotel makes it stand out a mile from the other hotels. Staff were friendly and accommodating, I loved our stay and would definitely book again

Honestly, if you looked you would find faults least of all the Shower which was not user friendly and water was tepid at best BUT nothing that would deter me from re-booking

** review based on overnight stay** Room (upgrade) was very spacious++, very clean and excellent value for money. The Reception staff absolutely lovely, friendly and very welcoming... knowledgeable about the area. Location was great. Far enough away but close enough. Would definitely stay here again

The hotel was very quiet, clean and well organised. The staff went above and beyond, nothing was too much trouble. Walking distance for both rail and bus services.

Shame about the WiFi - but not a problem.

The hotel felt warm, friendly, quirky and quite grand in a loungey, comfy, Scottish manor house style. Big comfy sofa's in the bar / lounge / reception room, surrounded by quirky, stuffed animals, collected from a bygone era of castles and hunting lodges. The walls are adorned with victoriana prints and artwork of hunting scenes, people on horseback, historic houses - all adding to the feel of the hotel. I stayed in a very comfy, clean, warm and nicely styled room (still thinking Scottish manor house stylee!) I didn't have a view but some rooms would probably be in line with the sea. The Wifi didnt work in my room but my colleague had a very good signal. I'd certainly stay again!

We were given a room that doesn't seem to be used as much, so it was a bit tired. However, we really liked the size and being at the top of the building

We asked for a room with a bath, and the receptionist went out of their way to make sure this was the case. We were given a room at the very top of the hotel, which was excellent. Really spacious, with a seating area. The hotel itself is well located for arriving by train and being able to walk into town and to the beach.
