"Comfy bed and room was quiet despite the nearby street being very busy on a Saturday night. Parking was nearby, but I had to ask about exact location with the team before arriving as it wasn’t clear to me which car park I could use… but it turns out it is discounted for guests."

The Queens Hotel

The Queens Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Four friends on a weekend city break. Both our rooms were set up as twin beds as requested. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Unfortunately, as females we do like to be able to spread out make up and hair styling equipment, there was no mirror on the desk. We have stayed in many hotels and this is the first time we have come across this. Breakfast was fantastic, the choice, quantity and quality of food on offer was excellent and surprisingly good value. I must highly commend your reception staff who went above and beyond in helping one of our party who suffered a fall outside the hotel. Offering ice packs, wheelchair, escorting us to the railway station. Their kindness and help made a very difficult situation for our friend more comfortable. Our friend was eventually diagnosed with a fracture of the ankle later that evening. I would more than recommend The Queen Hotel, its location, value for money, fantastic food and decor. But above all else - the staff, you looked after us so well."
