Very enjoyable indeed.
Pros:

The room was lovely if small, but we did not worry as it was very private and not overlooked. Everything was clean and tidy, and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfasts were amazingly delicious.

Cons:

The only issue we found was that the hot water was very slow at coming through to the sink tap and the shower, but there is a note in bathroom explaining that so we understood. There must be a lot of water wastage due to the time it takes to be warm enough to shower.

Fijn en origineel
Pros:

Lekker ontbijt, recht tegenover het station.
Toch heel dicht bij het centrum en dicht bij alles.
Zeer vriendelijk personeel!

Cons:

De lift werkte op het moment van bezoek niet. Maar ik vermoed dat ze deze snel gaan herstellen.

Thank you for your hospitality. Highly recommend
Pros:

Pleasant and efficient staff. Warmly greeted at checkin. Hotel room very clean and comfortable. Excellent breakfast. Outstanding service from man who worked in the bar. Fabulous location - across the road from station and only 5 min walk into town centre. Would highly recommend and would stay here again.

Cons:

Disappointed the lift was not working. Going on other reviews this seems to be an ongoing issue and if you have heavy luggage it will be a problem. I was only on the first floor, but after a long day of walking I would have appreciated the lift. If it wasn’t for the lift not working I would have awarded this property outstanding on all points.

Bath hotel
Pros:

The only saving grace for this hotel was it's front desk manager. Tall gentleman, unfortunately we didn't get his name. He sorted us nicely for a 3 hours wait just to check in and was quick to get us a desk fan for the paint smell and fumes inside the room. Thank you dear Manager.

Cons:

Lift not working. Plenty of stairs with heavy suitcases don't make for a good stay. It was also incredibly hot and stuffy inside the room. We had a desk fan brought in and it still wasn't cool enough. Check in was 3 hours late due to some maintenance work. We had to sit on the bar for those 3 hours with our luggage. Not pleasant.
