The Allen Hotel is a family-run property, housed in an understated, 4-storey corner building, with a redbrick façade and large windows. A small friendly lobby welcomes guests on arrival. Varying in size and layout, the 45 guestrooms are comfortably decorated with neutral colour schemes, complemented by floral fabrics and polished wood floors. All are clean and decently maintained. Guests should note that the bathrooms are not en suite, but are situated in the corridors and maintained to a high standard. Complimentary tea and coffee is available 24 hours a day. A small and charming breakfast room is located on the second floor.
