Nice clean room, but road noise and no cooling options were a struggle.
Pros:

Large room, very clean. Location was walking distance to the hub.

Cons:

On a main road so noise was a problem. Unable to keep windows open to stay cool because of how bad the road noise was. Overheated at nighttime with having to close windows and no AC.
Expensive to not have any breakfast option included.

Wonderful.
Pros:

Location, facilities and staff made for a great stay.

Cons:

We had the corner bedroom where the windows overlook the entrance and car park, although very stylish when getting changed we had to close the auto blinds fully which was a bit limiting at times.

The location was great and we loved the variety of pubs nearby.
Pros:

It was serviced very well. I loved the fresh towels every day.
The bistro bar area downstairs was great.

Cons:

The rooms were quite dark even with all the lights on.

Aspettative deluse
Pros:

Piccolo hotel adiacente all’omonimo e rinomato pub, ove si può cenare e fare colazione. Camere piuttosto limitate negli spazi e nella dotazione. Posizione ottima , a pochi minuti di bus dal centro città, raggiungibile a piedi in una decina di minuti. Ottimo il wifi

Cons:

La pulizia lascia decisamente a desiderare:inquietanti le macchie sul pavimento del bagno. La reception è presidiata solo alcune ore al giorno,in caso di necessità occorre rivolgersi al pub. Non vi sono tariffe che includano la colazione , che, se fatta al pub adiacente, ha costi assurdi e non ha alcuna scelta di dolce.

Pros:

La stanza era grandissima, pulita e ben arradata. Abbiamo mangiato molto bene al ristorante dell'hotel. Personale gentile e accogliente.

Cons:

Abbiamo provato a chiamare la reception un paio di volte ma non abbiamo avuto risposta. I lavandini del bagno sono un po' scomodi perchè piuttosto piccoli rispetto al rubinetto e spesso si bagna il ripiano circostante. La colazione non è inclusa. Sarebbe stata utile una cuffietta per la doccia visto che il soffione è fisso.

Pros:

Tolles Hotel, super Zimmer. Einfacher check-in / out. Gutes Restaurant.

Cons:

Liegt zu Fuss ca. 25min vom Eyre Square / Beginn Stadtzentrum entfernt. Zudem an einer stark frequentierten Kreuzung gelegen, was auch in der Nacht bei offenem Fenster laut war. Bei geschlossenen Fenstern allerdings kaum etwas zu hören.
