Очарователен малък хотел с отлично местоположение.
Pros:

Отлично местоположение на хотела, спирката на градския транспорт е точно отпред. Усмихнат и отзивчив персонал. Чистотата в стаята и в банята беше на ниво. Сменяха кърпите в банята всеки ден.

Cons:

Би било хубаво в стаята да има малък хладилник. Възглавниците бяха неудобни.

Business trip
Pros:

The location is really quiet and relatively close to the city centre.
Staff are super friendly and accommodating.
The breakfast was really delicious and had lots of choices.
The beds were very comfortable, and the rooms were very warm.

Cons:

The bathroom was quite small, and the wash basin was child-sized and really low in height. Really should consider investing in some larger basins, as these were quite impractical.
Other than that, no problems :)

Pros:

Location - safe and walking distance to city centre. Some parking - 4 spaces- to be pre booked.

Cons:

Smallest room I have ever stayed in. I agree that ibokked a single room but this was tiny. Additional charge for parking, which I'm told is in the t&Cs, bit I can't see it.

Pros:

The room was lovely, and it was a perfect location close to a conference I was attending. It was a really warm few days but the room had a fan available. The staff were super friendly and I would definately stay again.

Cons:

It wasn't an important issue but be aware there is no lift and a lot of stairs, which is tricky with heavy luggage.

Pros:

Incredibly positive experience. A homely 3-star hotel with 5-star service, the staff were very friendly and attentive to all of our needs, even making sure we got a room a bit further away from the others when I mentioned I'm a light sleeper. The room was simple but clean, had all we needed. Bed mattress is on the harder side, which was a plus for us, but some people might prefer softer. The area is very peaceful, a bit far out but has a bus stop right outside the hotel which was very convenient.

Cons:

The room we had was within a small inner garden, which was very nice, but it had a table with an ashtray for smokers right outside our door. Thankfully it was never used by anyone during our stay, but if it had been it would have lessened our positive experience quite a lot, since we had the window open during the nights due to the hot weather.

location good, area quiet but a little pricey for the offering. Breakfast average. Staff v.friendly.
Pros:

The garden room 108 we initially thought, where have they have put us, but it was quiet and pleasant enough. Not sure what it would be like in winter or the height of summer.

Cons:

Thought the breakfast was very average. Hot food wasn't that hot or freshly cooked (bacon, sausage & hash browns had all been cooked some time before and kept "warm".
No bean to cup coffee options, only filter coffee.
