My stay at the hotel was lovely. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with a great shower and blackout curtains that worked well. However, there were some terrible stains on the carpet that could have been better. The service was excellent, especially from Rebecca who assisted with dinner bookings. The location was perfect, overlooking the river and just a 5-minute walk to the main shopping area. The dining options were good with plenty of choices, but there were some minor issues with staff knowledge and requests. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would consider returning.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms, although a little dated, were surprisingly quiet, with a lovely view over the river on two sides. However, I did encounter an issue with the key card not working initially, which was a hassle to resolve at reception with all my bags. The service had its ups and downs, with some standout friendly staff but also a cheeky young person with a bad attitude. The location was beautiful, being right on the river, although I did notice some cleanliness issues with bits of foam on the ground on consecutive days. The dining experience was satisfactory but not exceptional, and the facilities offered everything I needed.

I was intrigued by the hotel's central location in town surrounded by great bars and restaurants within walking distance. However, the room I was given, despite requesting a change, faced a noisy generator and seemed to be above the bar's band. The service, on the other hand, was pleasant and efficient. The facilities were satisfactory, but the dining experience fell short, with a delayed order and an organized event interrupting the stay.
