Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms, although in the attics, were very well decorated and lovely, much better than any others I have stayed in. The breakfast was excellent, pre-ordered, and brought to the table promptly. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. However, the rooms were described as small during booking. Overall, a fantastic experience with great service and delicious breakfast!
My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The stunning views from the room were a definite highlight, but the small size, cracked windows, and sloping ceilings made it less than ideal for taller guests. The room amenities were adequate, matching the online pictures, and included a kettle for tea-making. However, the challenging bath placement under the sloping ceiling made it nearly impossible to use comfortably.
I couldn't ask for a better location, with lovely views over the river and just a short walk into town. The rooms were full of light, well-decorated, and had enjoyable artwork on the walls, though the TV was a bit small. The service was top-notch, with incredibly friendly and helpful staff. The dining experience provided a great variety of choices, including a delicious cooked breakfast. However, the price might be a bit on the higher side for some, though the value for money is undeniable.
