Thanks Stephen, hope to see you back at the Citadel one day.
My girlfriend and I arrived and stayed on a Saturday night, I asked for a bottle of wine which was added to the service and it was very nice. We had such a lovely time and stay at the hotel, we would return in the future!

So glad you enjoyed your stay at the Citadel Jess.
The room was fairly basic - no chair or wardrobe - but ok for a single night. Although I had booked a room with en-suite facilities, when I arrived I was initially offered a room which wasn't en-suite but this was quickly remedied.
The owner was friendly so that was nice.
Another discovery on arrival was that the hotel had stopped providing a cooked breakfast a couple of years ago so the only food on offer was a continental style breakfast i.e. toast and a hot drink. When I rechecked the details on the hotels.com website I couldn't find any reference to this, so it came as a total surprise.
The hotel is in a good location fairly close to the Hoe and city centre.

Nasty step just iside door watch out . Bad matrest on bed and shared bathroom but good location and ok price for the area £5 on street parking.
The B&B manager is really helpful and friendly. It's in a great location, very close to town centre, the Hoe and harbour, really easy to walk everywhere. Nice building, slightly faded, but no complaints. Easy check in and out.

You booked a room with shared facilities. On check in you saw me go to room and sanitise yet again.
Nice hotel with a basic small room but adequate for my two night stay. Coat hangers on a multiple coat hook but no wardrobe? Enough space for a small one next to the bed. A couple would have been disappointed no wardrobe with more clothing and a longer stay. Clean Toilet and shower facilities just outside the room. Hot outside during the day but not surprisingly after dark it got colder and the heating was not switched on in the room.
Good breakfast cooked to order
Friendly and helpful landlady
Great location for the Hoe, Barbican and city centre
Basic but clean.staff pleasant and friendly. Food well cooked but basic also. No fruit except orange juice. Only white bread, a choice would have been nice.

Single night stay
Was clean and comfortable room, only real issue being no toilet, but it was next to my room so no big issue. Staff were friendly and area was quiet
The room was not on suite which we asked for The towels had holes in the pillows were very old and dirty the head board was thick with grease disgusting The shower was out on the landing and was Rusty Never ever will we stay there again unbelievable

David, You booked a room with share facilities and not an ensuite ( also reflected in the price ) Room has just been decorated and was spotlessly clean. Towels unacceptable.
