The Queens Hotel

The Queens Hotel

8/10 Good
"Loved the art-deco design of the hotel, truly beautiful building including a modern restaurant and bar on-site. Breakfast was excellent, choice wide-ranging from full English to pastries, fruit, fish and cereals. The only gripe, coffee from a machine was not great. The staff were highly professional and helpful. Location perfect for city centre activities like shopping, culture, restaurants and cafes."

"An excellent location right in the heart of the city centre. Full of character my room was spacious and had everything I needed. My stay was enhanced by Caroline at check in who delivered brilliant customer service from beginning until the end of my stay. She was helpful initially with parking advice and luggage store then offered useful hints/tips throughout my stay."

"The only negative thing about this hotel is the parking. The rooms are nice, the restaurant has a decent menu, (no cash, though, only credit cards). But the parking situation is not great. Only 2 handicap parking spots. For a hotel this size, that’s ridiculous."
