Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms lacked natural daylight as I stayed on the ground floor, which was a bit disappointing considering the price. However, the service was friendly and welcoming during my time there. The location, though not the best, was convenient as it was central to all amenities. The dining experience was a bit pricey but delicious. The facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
The hotel rooms were renovated and had beautiful linens and bedding, although the lack of daylight on the ground floor added a lovely touch to the artistic and comfortable decor. The service was a mix of being stand-offish and friendly, with the pub staff being the most approachable. The location, although on a busy intersection, is made the best by the lovely river view and the hotel's own footbridge. The dining experience was described as delicious but appeared to be somewhat expensive and mediocre with limited options. However, the positive ratings reflect friendly and welcoming service and a comfortable and artistic room design.
