"Overall this is a very good hotel. The rooms are very clean, the staff are superb and very helpful. I especially liked them providing me with a bottle to fill with water, freely available on each floor -this was wonderful. My only criticism, and I’m being pedantic, is that it’s not obvious where to pay for items in reception fridges, I queued at bar only to be told I had to wait behind 5 people at reception waiting to checkout (I was joined by 6 others waiting to pay for same items at bar) But that shouldn’t put you off this excellent hotel."

"I chose this hotel because it had a restaurant with a garden that backs onto the river. Unfortunately, the night we stayed (Friday) it was closed. There didn’t seem to be that many options nearby. Our room was on the 2nd floor with no lift. The room was comfortable enough but very basic. The breakfast was an extra 10€ per person so I would not rate this hotel value for money. It did us for an overnight stop but I probably wouldn’t stay again."
