Lovely City Break

We had a river view during our weekend stay, and it was perfect. The hotel is a little dated and could do with some updates, but aside from that it is clean, tidy and quiet. As the hotel is just over the river from the main centre, it meant you were able to have a good nights sleep. The location is perfect with it being minutes away from the centre. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Nice location next to the river and shopping. A boat tour is nearby. Room was comfy, but the bed mattress was a bit too firm for my liking. Good for 2 or 3 nights.

Room was spacious and we liked the pre paid parking. It felt very secure. They had a luggage lift which was helpful. Check-in staff not friendly, did not greet us, just handed me a paper to fill out. Breakfast hostess also struggling to be friendly. Check out staff was very friendly.

Besides the view of an ugly dirty courtyard, there was literally one outlet in the room. My husband and I had to take turns charging our phones. Though clean it was old and moldy and definitely needs to be renovated. The staff however were very nice.

The location is great and it helped that we had a riverside view. It’s in a great location - you feel you’re in the heart of the city but not in a busy location. You do get the noise from the pubs and clubs on the other side of the river so take earplugs or keep the window closed (no aircon). The bathroom could use updating but that feels like a minor thing really as the room is clean and comfortable. Bed and pillows are really comfy. Staff are really welcoming and friendly.

Superb location

The hotel was superbly located just over the bridge from most things but at most a few minutes walk to everything you would want to do. Excellent filling breakfast each morning and the hotel staff were very helpful and polite. We were lucky enough to have a river view. It was lovely listening to the boats in the evening and the early morning rowers.

Will stay again

Myself, daughter and 2 children stayed 3 nights in a family room recently. The hotel is perfect for heading into the town and just a short walk from all the attractions. Car park was easy to get too. Room was comfortable and housekeeping were fantastic. . Tea , coffee and biscuits were available in the room and replenished every day. We didnt eat in the hotel so cant comment on the food. Staff were lovely and really helpful. I would stay here again.
