    Would have liked a bit more space for putting things on, a box of tissues in the room, the toilet seat was not aligned properly and one of the windows would not lock.

    The only niggle was the shower, it was difficult to maintain constant temperature and flow of water ... bit of a shock when instant cold appeared like a jet wash!!

    A beautiful building, fabulous views of the river and cathedral. Staff very accommodating and offer to book our restaurant in town for the evening nice touch as was the shuttle service.

    Apart from the stewed coffee (see above), the view of the river (from room 31) was obscured by some large air conditioning units/heating ducts on the roof outside.

    Very good location, very helpful staff, decent breakfast (though the coffee was stewed!). A pleasant, welcoming atmosphere.

    The breakfast was excellent with eggs cooked to order but it could be improved by not putting sausages bacon etc all out in one go keeping it topped with freshly cooked items.

    We wee lucky and had an upgrade to a room with a view of the river. The best feature was the was the mini bus into town an collection after our evening meal.

    The much praised shuttle bus service was not available which was a disappointment. After we requested it we did get a discount to cover cabs to and from town in the evening.

    Good parking. Lovely view from our room (King with river view). Lovely big room and comfortable bed. Lovely walk into the city centre.
