Its the best hotel in the area - clean and reasonably priced
bar food was good and staff very helpful
only little complaint - the dodgy plumming which loved to groan in the middle of the night - make sure you have earplugs !
entertainment in cabaret lounge was a bonus ( as long as you enjoy playing bingo ! )

Warm welcome on check in the benefits of opening an account for food and drink were explained well. I did so later. Room was huge clean and comfy. The shower was incredible. Bar staff were friendly and the entertainment in the evening was spot on. The Ruskin is a gem of a hotel.

The room was so nice and the staff were really friendly. The food was okay but there was only certain times that we could eat as it was included in the property.
Car parking is a nightmare and couldn't find a suitable place to park and ended up getting a ticket.

Having stayed at Ruskin many times over past few decades I find the cleanliness and staff service always to a good standard- rooms are cleaned each day.
There has been a rise in bar prices however my concern is the breakfast is not of the quality I previously experienced. Whilst the layout is good with various choice of cooked or cold foods I found there has been a decline in the quality of the produce served with hot breakfast
