The code provided was then incorrect so I had to call the number they provided. However, they did respond promptly to my messages and calls and I was able to get into my room relatively quickly. A minor inconvenience. Seems like some of the rooms were being renovated so there was a bit of noise from that but nothing major. The hotel is in a great location with easy access to shops, restaurants, and pubs. Overall it was clean and the room was really nice. No amenities but if you're just looking for a place to sleep it's perfect. ##### Carly Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Magnus 30 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great location ##### Magnus Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Glenn 15 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Cool little hotel right on Water Street.
