We enjoyed a one night stay with the waterman, It was a lovely room with an alternative interior which we loved. Only a few little things cropped up, the WiFi connection in our room wasn’t great. This was ok for us as we were away for leisure. Our remote control was filthy, this is not a complaint to the hotel as I wouldn’t think I’d have to clean a remote control either. I would just put this down to a build up previous guests. Our king bed was actually two singles, but again it was comfy so not the end of the world! It was a great location for a city break and their processes to avoid unnecessary contact due to covid were appreciated. Can’t comment on staff as we didn’t see any this time around :-) Tip. We decided to park at Castle Hill Car Park which was only a 10 minute walk & £9 for 24hrs.
