Helpful staff, great breakfast, GREAT VIEW from room or the river, great shower! Great walkable location, great parking only 15 pounds a night. Worth it! We did a small room and it was perfect bc we pretty much just slept in the room and had great views the rest of the time we were there.

Clean room, lovely shower, good comfy bed, and warm room, good facilities. down side mirror in bathroom not working, couldn't open window for some fresh air was told by reception 1rdt floor rooms the windows don't open,, think we should have been advised about this as and accommodated on a higher floor room. Being the week end it was rather noisy , we asked for a room with a view to the river and we're given a room facing the buildings and bars thorough fair. The room 110 was very clean and comfortable but not with the river view.

We had a room overlooking the street in front of the hotel. The loud noises coming from below often woke us through the night. When we asked to be moved we were told the hotel had ver few rooms with 2 beds. Those with 2 beds were at the front of the building. A staff member told me there was nothing they could do about the noise on the street. Our experience, otherwise, was very good. We loved the clean and comfortsble beds as well as the helpful and knowledgeable staff members. Overall our stay was good. The location was great.

Comfortable and pleasant stay. However, overall, building along with rooms need to be renovated as its age and clear signs of deterioration could easily be seen.

We arrived around 9pm after a 12 hour train journey. The approach to the hotel from the railway station was down a street full of revellers. On arrival we were allocated a room facing down the noisy street we had just walked down but were too tired to try to arrange an alternative room. The revelry continued till 4am with shouting, screaming, loud music and reving car engines. We complained the following morning and our belongings were moved to a better room before our 2nd night. Why oh why did the receptionist allocste the original room to a couple in their eighties who were obviously tired after a long journey\?

Excellent location, alright overall

Check-in was extremely slow and not very friendly. Location is excellent - walking from the rail station. The room is good if you’re facing the river as there’s virtually no noise but it has no air con, you need to request a fan, hence it was a bit hot during the night ( it’s summer). Breakfast caters for gluten and lactose intolerant but overall could be better.
