Pros:

Small free breakfast included.
Pool
Feels homely. Breaks communal area to sit down and have breakfast outside. Great place to meet others and have a chat either at breakfast or around the pool.
Perfect place to access the river and all the restaurants around the area.

Cons:

Lots of stairs to get your bags up.
No windows to see out of on the 2 bedroom apartment. Would book X2 pool view rooms next time.
This is a great place to stay if you’re solo travelling to meet others, or just want a place that is a bit more personable.

Pleasant.
Pros:

Location was excellent, and on top of a hill, so you get the best view of the DUN building. We didn't try the breakfast as we did not know it was available and nobody at the reception mentioned it to us. We only noticed when we saw people coming in and out of the breakfast room. They provide earplugs in the room as at times it can get loud i guess? But also you can hear footsteps of people above you if you're on the lower ground. The Granary restaurant's food was good.

Cons:

It is an old building, but doesn't mean you can't maintain it. Bathroom has a bit of moss and floor's dusty

Lovely heritage building, good location
Pros:

- The building itself is really cool, if you like heritage buildings I recommend this place! Very beautifully restored.
- Location is excellent.
- The pool is lovely, with lush gardens around it and nice sunbeds.
- Staff very friendly and helpful.
- They sell very cheap beers in the fridge at reception.

Cons:

- The walls and floors really are paper thin. If you plan to get an early night you should bring earplugs.
- The hotel markets itself as family friendly, and while I think having some older kids around is ok, I dont think it's an appropriate place to bring small children since the walls are so thin. If you have a crying baby at night the whole place is going to hear it.
- While the pool is lovely it's also really small which is only an issue when everybody brings their children. Sometimes we weren't able to enjoy the pool because it was like child soup.
- Place could do with a deep clean and invest in some new bed sheets.
- Towels provided smelt like butt.

Pros:

设计风格独特,很有复古风格

Cons:

柜台处理后,需要自己拿行李走一路石板,进入住宿大门后阶梯楼梯太陡,不太适合年长人士上下。尤其是下楼,有点危险,梯级太小。房间内的楼梯非常成90度,下楼梯有点危险。

Cons:

The air conditioning doesn't work, and doesn't seem to have been serviced for years. The staff are unhelpful and unfriendly. The place may have been restored in 2017 but feels like it hasn't been maintained since then. Feels like something between a hostel and a squat, not a 'boutique'.
