The Oakland Hotel

The room was good- clean, well equipped, + biscuits provided as well as tea and coffee! Can't fault it. Can't comment on the breakfast (included in room price) as its not available at weekends until after 8.30 and I had to be elsewhere by then. From 7.00 in the week. The thing that let the place down was the parking - or more the point , the lack of it. There must be 40 rooms but only space for 4 cars! All the other car parks around and there are plenty, had max 4 hour stay limit signs on display. Rather than risk a parking charge / fine I found some on-road parking 5 mins walk away and hoped the car would be still there in the morning (it was). If you want a chance for the 4 places you'll need to get there early afternoon - its bedlam there in the evening with the other pub and food outlet customers vying for space, well it was on Friday and Saturday evenings.

Great hotel but no lifts, difficult carrying the luggages up three flight of stairs.

As usual... good honest hotel. I Have stayed i would estimate between 20-30 times in last 3 years and always good value for money

Dated but very clean room and pretty comfortable and airy. Convenient location. We were at a seminar which started at 8.30am, so sadly missed out on the included breakfast and no option for anything else like a packed lunch. All in all, decent value for money

Staff friendly room ok however dirty and bedding was torn. Room overlooked what appeared to be a late night 'massage: parlour at twenty to ten on a Sunday eve we could observe a male having massage should we have chosen not to close the curtains. Brekky was good though.

Very central and close to many eating places . Hardly any hotel parking , but luckily found somewhere nearby . It’s barely a 2 star hotel. , and really does need money spent on it . However the restaurant staff had a lovely welcoming manner , and the breakfast was great.
