Fort Road Hotel

Great little hotel right in the centre, excellent staff who were very friendly and helpful!

The hotel is nice and well kept although this may be because it is still new. Noisy because of the age of the building and the way it is furnished. Room was small but stylish, personally the ‘toilet paper only’ sign above the toilet in the bathroom had a travelodge vibe that was disappointing. The included breakfast is okay, if like myself you don’t eat overnight oats regularly the over nights are a treat. Something was missing for us, it didn’t quite have that touch of class they are trying to portray but overall a nice experience. Parking was easy although I image on a weekend it is more difficult to find a space. Thanks to the staff who were pleasant and helpful. I mentioned in our booking that it was my partner’s 30th birthday. When we previously went away for my 30th the staff at the hotel we stayed at wished me a happy birthday on arrival. It didn’t cost anything and set the tone for a celebratory get a way, just a thought. We did get an ‘upgrade’ although it wasn’t clear why that was and we didn’t really notice anything elevated about the room over the one we had booked.

This is a very well placed and designed hotel. The interior is tasteful, beds comfy and staff both friendly and efficient. The breakfast was all high quality ingredients and the cocktails from the bar were perfect. This is a little gem which is good value for money.
