Cool vintage hotel with a nice restaurant and pools. A bit of an older building so not super sound proof. Our room faced the Main Street and there was some noise from cars driving by and other guests. The room was also very small, it was hard to open up our luggage and move around the room. Staff was very welcoming and room was clean.

Classy And Worth The Price
I really enjoyed my stay at Prince’s Gate Hotel. The staff were very present with their service whether at the desk or the cleaning staff. The room was fantastic and very decent size, king size bed was comfortable, carpeted, and the bathroom was nice and I got good use from the bath. The facilities were great with heated pools and sauna as well as a restaurant, although I didn’t use the attached restaurant. It was located within 10 minutes from the street shops and less than 5 from pubs and restaurants. The car park on site was fairly small but there was plenty of free parking on the side street. Definitely worth a stay, even for the price.
