Manager could not have been more helpful. Quiet and comfortable rooms, at a great location! Excellent find. ##### Christopher Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Sila 1 Jan 2026 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Disliked: Cleanliness Staff were super friendly and answered all of our questions with no problem. However, the bathroom in our room was very dirty. The silicone around the bath was orange which meant that it was quite old and dirty. We couldn’t really use the shower because of this. Beds had hairs on them right after we checked in which made us think that this place doesn’t have any cleaners. Location is very nice yes you can walk everywhere but I just wouldn’t stay here again. We really thought it was a waste of money because we paid around £700 for 3 nights and had to stay in a dirty room. ##### Sila Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Debbie 28 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Staff are very nice and helpful. ##### Debbie Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Elizabeth 24 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff were very friendly and helpful. One of the young men even used his phone to order dinner for us! They were helpful with guiding us to restaurants and helping take up our luggage. The only issue that was not great was the stairs and having to go up two flights. Otherwise, the hotel was good. ##### Elizabeth Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shirley 8 May 2025 Great property. Beautiful hotel.
