Great for the reasonable price, clean, good sized room and en suite (we paid slightly more for exec room), efficient service especially at breakfast which was basic but sufficient. Parking nearby and short walk to attractions.

Hotel Oliver was a life saver as my flight had been cancelled and I needed a room which they has available for my one night stay. I know we can’t be choosy under quick circumstances I was a little take aback at how old and run down the room looked. It was rather dated reminded of something rented on a budget youth hostel in the 80s. It’s such a beautiful location why not give it a face lift.

Good option in convenient location

It’s a fine hotel in a convenient location. Rooms aren’t fancy or modern but they are totally fine - beds are fine. The breakfast is a good basic breakfast and it’s nice to have that included . We had some minor issues with our room reservation and the hot water but all was resolved .

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Had no time for breakfast so can’t judge on that but was told it’s a continental one. Although it was a single bedroom, the bathroom was tiny. When I sat on the bog my knees touched the wall. A dwarf would have difficulty in that bathroom. Also there was no hot water from the sink of which took minutes to go luke warm at best. As for the shower that also took minutes to warm up. £35 for parking a car overnight which had to be paid in cash was way way too expensive. Not worth the money for the single room or parking. Very disappointed.
