"We've stayed here a couple of times pre-Covid and back again recently, definitely some upgrades have been done in between. Staff here are always friendly and helpful. They were doing some maintenance works during our stay, it didn't pose too much of a hassle even though I had knee surgery earlier in the year and still recovering. Noise level was fine too. The anti slip bath mat for the shower was incredibly helpful during our stay because of my knee. No shortage of towels even if you're on DND. The only slight feedback would be maybe upgrade the gym a little would be helpful, the ventilation in there isn't great. Would highly recommend, definitely would be back again when we're in town"

No. 1 Pery Square Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good
"A very nice place to stay, especially as we were in the old part of the property which has loads of character. We had a big, comfortable room with sitting area. I particularly liked that the TV was hidden away behind doors so did not intrude it's presence into the room. The staff were very good, friendly and helpful, and the breakfast is first rate. One down side is that, surprisingly, there is no kettle in the room and ordering hot water or tea from downstairs is tedious and inconvenient. The other minor issue that we had was that the option I chose to book specifically included free parking which implies that there would be parking reserved for me as it was include in my room description. This turned out not to be the case and the small car park was already full. This all got sorted out by the helpful front of house people but it was another irritation that took the shine off a very pleasant visit."
