Fantastic hotel with lots of history. Very clean friendly atmosphere. Very good design

It was perfect Hotel.....wonderful and happy staff......super location.....really +5* ....well done👍

The young lady on check in seemed unfamiliar and was having some issues with system- she was very apologetic / friendly. There didn’t seem to be anyone she could get advice from. The room was not in an old cell - we may have been upgraded to a suite? However there were very low sloping beams close to the bed which might be a problem for someone taller. The main issue however was that we could not work out how to completely turn off the lights - I contacted reception about 22.30 but the man could not understand me? The only solution was to remove the card from the slot which turned off all the power including the lights but also opened the automatic window blinds in the sloping windows above the bed! When I questioned in the morning - clearly not the first time they have been asked - I was shown that you apparently press one switch once and all the lights slowly go off? It was explained that for some reason there was only a security guard on duty the previous evening which was he couldn’t understand what I was asking? A very nice hotel spoilt by lack of training for staff but not by staff who were very friendly but didn’t know how to help.

Simply brilliant! Clean and stylish, also great breakfast. Gem in a smaller city.

In one word amazing!

Amazing! Thought of each smallest detail and very stylish.

History, style, service - classy and cool. Please lock me up again sometime!

Hotel Liberty is a stunning example of what renovating a unique building into a hotel can achieve. The design throughout is sympathetic, yet innovative and the bedrooms are beautiful spaces, decorated to the highest of standards with clever nods towards the building’s former life as a working prison. All staff were attentive without being intrusive, and clearly communicated and worked well as a team. If you own a hotel and want to understand how it should be run - stay here for two nights and you’ll experience everything you need to know to have a 5* rating. The hotel’s restaurant menu has a good variety of dishes without being complicated, and each one is presented to the highest of standards. We had the set menu which was reasonably priced and great value. Portion sizes were good, and every part of every dish tasted simply exquisite. We were delighted with everything about our stay except the bedroom temperature due to the lack of air conditioning. The staff explained that the designers believed the thick brick walls would keep the whole building cool, but in fact, given the heatwave this summer, it was uncomfortably hot. To combat this, each room has a Dyson fan, but we ended up asking for a second as the temperature was still too high to sleep well. This is the only reason I cannot give Hotel Liberty a 5* rating. Everything else about this hotel is perfect and I would thoroughly recommend that you stay here - especially once the air conditioning is installed!
