In my black book.

This is an excellent, value for money hotel with friendly staff and good food, in a pleasant location. Will definitely stay again. The staff went above and beyond expectation and it had a really good old fashioned feel about it.

Very loud if an event is on.

Location of hotel and food was great. However we were advised at check-in that there was an event that night that would continue till midnight. Loud is an understatement, had we been informed prior to the trip we would have considered alternative accommodation. It would have been a great review had it not been for the noise.

Worth a visit

This is a nice 3* hotel, very good reception staff. The rooms have a safe and reception will provide a key. The parking is controlled by a third party so you must enter your car registration number each day to avoid a fine. The breakfast is ok, I am not sure if they have different breakfast chefs each morning but our Thursday breakfast was disappointing, poached eggs had to be returned due to not been cooked. Friday breakfast much better although in my opinion the filter coffee needs to be stronger.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Disappointed

The hotel is tired and in need of refreshing. Our room was extremely hot, even the industrial fan provided did not help. No water was provided. The walls and carpet were marked and the furniture dated. The TV was completely in the wrong place to watch. The room only saved by refurbished bathroom with a good shower. We were told that no other room was available for duration of our stay. We had to book a slot for breakfast, which we felt was more for staff convenience. The breakfast was adequate, although very limited buffet choices. The position of the hotel on the river is lovely. It is such a shame as the hotel could be so much improved.
