The Queens Hotel & Victoria Cloisters

8/10 Good
"Room was nice. Bathroom had some flaws if you looked hard enough. It’s just dated and well used. Flooring needs an upgrade and some mould in the corners of the grout. Nothing that’s serious. Breakfast was basic - toast was provided so it wasn’t fresh. I preferred bread and had to ask for it. Bar was nice, but at night its same staff as reception so sometimes there was a wait. Would stay again due to proximity - but word of warning - car park may flood. So pick timings wisely !!"
