Lovely hotel in a great location, easy walking distance to the castle, botanic gardens, cathedral and more. Made to feel welcome by all of the staff throughout the hotel. Food was great from the bar and the restaurant, cakes from the bar were lovely too.. Our Riverside room was fantastic, great view and incredibly comfortable. The Spa was lovely but access to the jacuzzi is limited and controlled by a light system.. Not come across a system like this before and it really didn't seem to work well.. Not sure why the Jacuzzi isn't free to use continuously like most other spas..

Great location being right on the river! I stayed in a single bedroom and the bathroom was awful. The soaps didn’t work in the shower even though I asked to have it fixed. Really very basic amenities in a decent hotel and a great location.

The staff were lovely, the location is perfect. The room was a bit shabby, the breakfast whilst ample could be improved upon. Not bad at all but I was was expecting a little bit better considering the price.

Nice 3 star quality clean and well located hotel. Front desk help is good but takes a while and there is not a concierge for help. It would be good if top sheets were included in the bed makeup as the rooms tend to be on the warmer side and the large comforters are too much. Wash cloths are included by request only. Upon requesting a top sheet and wash cloths I was met with a friendly response and quick delivery. There are no refrigerators in the rooms.
