Ridsdale Holidays

Conveniently located for station, Metro, waterfront. A grand old hotel which has retained it's style. It is a bit dated and tired in places, but for me that adds to the charm. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. Breakfast was of a good standard and the staff met my dietary requirements without drama, delay or disappointment. The bar is pleasant for a drink in the evening, however, I would prefer if they stocked gluten free beer. The room was clean and had everything I needed. The single was a small double bed which was appreciated. My room was on the 5th floor and the water pressure was low in the sink, I didn't try the shower as I washed at the leisure facilities The leisure facilities are in an adjoining building. I didn't use the gym, but it looked fine. There is small pool, steam room, sauna, cold plunge pool and jacuzzi. Not swimming costumes are required in the spa area. It's an old building and the changing facilities are upstairs. If you find stairs a challenge be aware that there steps at the front, but level access at the side near the leisure club. The lift only goes to the 4th floor. You have to walk up to the 5th. In summary I enjoyed my stay, the staff really contributed to my experience. I would definitely book again.

Great location for a good price
