I was nervous about this property having booked in a rush and not having read reviews. However upon arrival I found it easy to park and a lovely entrance with beautiful character features. The ladies in reception were friendly and welcoming and they upgraded me to a superior room which I was very pleased with. The room was fantastic with lovely comfortable bed, large tv and walk in rainfall shower. It was overall very clean but some dust around bedframe. The only thing I’d have changed was the size of the towels; I’m not a big person but do prefer a bath sheet not a small towel and these just seemed very small.

The hotel is a little tired but the rooms are large and well equipped. I chose an executive double room on my last overnight stay, and was very impressed with the difference from a standard double for not much extra cost.

Hotel is just starting to come back to life after being used as an emergency accommodation facility. Minimal staff but they were so helpful and friendly. Awful smell in the reception and bar area, suspect carpet needs a professional clean….and the vacuum cleaner they’re using needs changing as it’s pumping put stinky air. Shame, as the OPL was a truly prestigious hotel once, beautiful building, I really truly hope she can recover and get her former glory and reputation back.

The room was OK. The bed was not too comfortable. We had what we needed and for the price it was acceptable. Things could be improved. For example there was nothing to save a slip in the shower. No handles or mat. No toilet brush. No cup in the bathroom and no mirror. The same guy was serving at the bar, doing check in and organising breakfast. He was very pleasant and helpful. The hotel entrance was charming and the lounge seemed very cosy. Breakfast was very basic, at least there were some pastries, otherwise it would have been very boring. All in all it was fine for the price

I was concerned after reading reviews however I didn't need to be. There was a large car park with ample parking. The reception was nice and welcoming and the receptionist very friendly. We were on the second floor which we took the lift to. The corridors were clean and smelt fresh our room was a quadruple room for the 3 of us, it was adequate, clean, smelt fresh and the beds were comfortable. We had kettle with tea and coffee provided, the bathroom had small bottles of shampoo and body wash provided. Breakfast was included it was continental style with plenty of pastries, croissants, toast yoghurt fruit and cereal tea coffee, chocolate and fruit juice were also provided. It was also very quiet and we didn't encounter any children. This hotel isn't posh or upmarket but it's clean comfortable and a nice place to stay. Also easy walking distance from the town, we attended a show at the theatre and it was very convenient. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Not a hotel

No bar, no restaurant, lift doesn’t work and full of families living in the rooms. Staff were really nice and the room was actually nice but it’s not a hotel. 90% occupied by people living in the rooms whilst awaiting being housed elsewhere. That’s fine but should not be advertised as a hotel on hotels.com!

Building and gardens were lovely. However, our room was absolutely boiling hot and when staying with an infant, made us very uncomfortable. There was no fan provided, the windows barely opened and to cool my son down, we had to put his travel cot into a bathroom. The lifts were out of use and no ground floor rooms were available, despite us making it clear we had an infant on the booking and would need a pram. The corridors were very narrow and when making our way to our room, it was very difficult with an infant, all the bags and other people having to all use one staircase. My partner was certain he saw breakfast included in the price, but no mention at the hotel either.

Not a great hot

Hotel was boiling hot, room was very hot and basic, for an executive room. Just a bar of soap in the bathroom, although reception gave me a shower gel when I asked and supplied a fan for the room. Shower was awful would only adjust to boiling hot or freezing cold. Front of house staff were friendly
