The Metropole Hotel

Easy to find.Good location across the river from bus station and main shopping street and bars. RC church close by. Walking distance from train station.On site leisure facilities/swimming. Bring your gym kit as well as swimming costume. Friendly staff everywhere. Pleasant room overlooking the river. Self serve breakfast in lovely dining room, adequate choice. Impressive spacious, welcoming & luxurious foyer with relaxed atmosphere.

Fire doors in corridors noisy but understand their importance so not complaining.Prolonged smell of cigarette smoke in our room one night, penetrating from another room, I think, which I didn't like, but realised I hadn't specified non smoking room when checking in, not sure if it would have made a difference. One of the lifts was out of order.Didn't eat in bar as nothing on menu appealed to us and bar area not particularly inviting. Are you missing an opportunity?

clean room,friendly staff cant complain
