Stayed here overnight recently for the second time. Would not stay again. Had to queue to check in. Room clean but good not work out why there was a portable heater in room (turned off). On returning back from a night out late we worked out why - the heating was not working and the room was freezing! Also, light... More

Would like to thank the staff for making our stay a lot more enjoyable this time. On our last visit the staff were like robots and were clearly not very well trained (which may not have been their fault), however this time everyone was very welcoming and had a smile on their face which was nice to see. Our main... More

Me and my partner stayed here recently and I have to admit,we were massively disappointed with our stay. The hotel was ridiculously loud and the corridors were dark,dusty and dingy. We were told we had to check out of our room at 11am and as we'd been to a restaurant and then for a few drinks the previous night we... More

Queue for about half an hour to get your room key. Hotel could be amazing but would need gutting and starting from scratch. Under no circumstances consider paying the full rate for a room (~£180), but at the discounted rate of £28 for a double, you can't complain

One of the most impressive 1st impressions in a hotel. On entering the hotel which from the outside is a standard Victorian building on a busy road, the reception are is magnificent. It has a gorgeous high domed ceiling and lovely marble floors, and the bar and rsstaurant area are impressive also. The rooms are quite hard to find but... More

I stayed here for a work thing ( I was part of the cowboy party mentioned in an earlier review ) and the hotel was beautiful. I didn't pay for my room but if I had done I would be a bit disappointed that my bath had a hole in the bottom and the sink was cracked. The room was... More

We stayed at the Palace for 3 nights over the May Day bank holiday weekend. A friend invited us up north for an impromptu visit; I booked through lastminute.com and had to check the price several times as it was coming in at just over £59 a night which I couldn't quite believe for an unplanned stay on a bank...

It looks grand, but peer beneeth the surface and it shows signs of being tired - cracked flooring in reception, damaged paintwork etc...... After an initial problem booking in I was given a room - 116 (beware) - eventually I found it down a coridoor labled for recycling waste! It was a disgrace - shabby would be the best I... More
