Bad bed and no parking

6.0

Bed wasn’t very comfortable as it was 2 single mattresses pushed together so there was a hard lump in the middle they also kept moving apart. No parking at all 1 night I had to park on the other side of town. Take this into account if you are expecting parking close by, you may get lucky but most of the time you won’t.

Beautiful location but noisy until the bar closed. Clean room but basic. There's not much on the menu for people requiring specific diets.

Good stay

8.0

This hotel is a very old building with lots of history but with that means there are some quirks and you should not stay here if you you dislike years of use shown in slightly uneven floors, steps, windows. But, if like us you find these quirks charming then this is a wonderful place to stay. We stayed in Room 2 which is situated facing the river with three windows to view this from - one in the bathroom if you like a view whilst on the throne!! The rooms are not air-conditioned but a fan was located in the room when we arrived and once the windows had been opened and the fan pointing out of one window to draw push the hot air out, the room was cool in minutes! In the morning though, the room was very warm as the sun shone through all 3 windows. The shower is lovely but pressure is lacking. There is almost limited surfaces to put items on, even the kettle and drinks facilities were tiny - my personal choice would be to remove the wardrobe and provide a few hooks on the wall and put a small table and 2 chairs in the room but what works for us might not work for all and the room was workable for us for 1 night. The bed and pillows were VERY comfortable - i slept the best I have in several weeks! Overall, i enjoyed my stay here and woukd stay here for 1 night again in the future but for a longer duration I would most likely look for somewhere with the additional surface space. The restaurant here was also lovely and sitting by the river enjoying a drink was wonderful.
