Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel property is quite unique set in a former council building especially the bar and restaurant which are located in the former council chambers. The most striking feature of the hotel however is the excellent service provided by all of the fantastic staff. The location is unbeatable allowing you to easily explore the city centre and the river walk. Many excellent restaurants and coffee shops are within 500 yards and the city attractions are very walkable from the hotel.

This is one of the best hotels I have stayed in for a long time. Absolutely beautiful building, extremely skilfully converted to a hotel. The welcome from the front desk person on our arrival at 10.30pm was wonderful. She seemed genuinely pleased to have us at the hotel. The room was spotless with the bathroom excellent with a great shower. Breakfast was delicious and served with joy and love. The bar was nice and the bar staff equally lovely. The staff are an absolute credit to this hotel. So cheerful, welcoming, and polite. Absolutely no complaints at all - which is rare for me :-)
