Excellent location
Pros:

Excellent location for getting around.
Hotel was really nice staff where very friendly
Breakfast was continental with a great selection to choose from .

Cons:

Only thing for me personally was the fact you had to go down stairs to use the iron , would be better for
There to be a service where you can get iron at reception to take to room.

Great place to stay close to City Centre with free parking on a first come first served basis.
Pros:

Clean and a great location.

Cons:

Quote tight stairs with limited headroom so a little awkward with cases but could be expected from a large house style hotel.

Pros:

Hôtel impeccable, à 12 minutes à pied du King's college (du centre, donc), chambres 2 lits plutôt grandes et très confortables. Des prises usb pour recharger pour ceux comme moi qui oublient leur prise anglaise !

Pros:

Lokalizacja hotelu jest znakomita. Znajduje się blisko centrum, dzięki czemu można zwiedzić miasto pieszo. Pokój był malutki, jednak przytulny. Nic więcej nie potrzeba na krótki wyjazd.

Cons:

Drewniane okna starego typu były stosunkowo cieżkie do otwarcia i wywietrzenia pokoju. Brak ogrzewania w łazience to również minus.

Great location. Lucky with parking.
Pros:

Friendly staff. Shower sprayed water all over the bathroom as it was a wet room and became flooded. We were downstairs and it smelled very badly of a Chinese dinner that seemed to be taking place.

Cons:

Breakfast.
