The hotel is opposite the Stoke station, so good for the University but far from City centre and any services.
This is a huge old Victorian establishment; impractical and a bit shoddy. Expect dusty carpets, cold showers - but on the positive side, at least my room was huge. Unfortunately, almost all of the old-time charm it must once have had seems to have been renovated away long ago.
No facilities - at least none were open in the winter - except a tired guest lounge and a horrible bar at the back.
In summary: practical if you need to be near the station, but no quality for money.- 31-Oct-2007 Ideally located opposite Stoke-on-Trent railway station. Easy bus connections from the hotel including daily seasonal service to Alton Towers theme park. An old-style railway hotel with good size rooms. Hot English breakfast buffet, although on one day several of the items had been left on the hotplate for too long. Pleasant staff. Second stay here and will happily use again. The rack rate is expensive in my view, but the hotel is good value when offered at a discount through [your website].- 07-Mar-2007 The only comment I would like to make was that the hotel room, in particular the bathroom was not very warm- 20-Jan-2007 |
