Bra och vänlig personal.
Pros:

Lugnt läge, bra frukost, rent

Cons:

Lite ”avlägsen” väg till centrum ville inte gå där sent på kvällen. Att de tog en deposition på 150 pund som jag inte såg vid bokningen. Fattar att de vill ha en för ev att man har sönder något.

Pros:

Lovely, helpful staff. Spacious and clean room. Good value for money. Quiet location near the river. Useful facilities in room.

Cons:

A toaster would have been useful as well as some cutlery to go with the plates etc provided. Light switches a bit annoying.

Value for money in comfortable accommodation.
Pros:

Bit of a quirky hotel but still very nice. Breakfast was excellent. Staff are very nice. Facilities in rooms very good. Hotel layout is "unusual" making it a bit quirky but that was no drawback.

Cons:

Only issue is with parking which isn't ideal but we got by with what was available.

So called pre-booked parking was a joke, had to put a down payment on check-in which needed to be spent on their cafe,
Pros:

The location was good, that’s all I can say about it

Cons:

It was dated, worn and very basic
