Charles

Truly the nicest place I’ve ever stayed. The staff were amazing- friendly helpful and totally spoiled us. We were right on the river and views from the balcony and breakfast area outrageousness. First time I’ve ever happiky hung out in a breakfast area or lounge. It between the view, the comfortable seating, interesting books, the self serve beer and snacks and the glasses of port that showed up it was great! Lovely breakfast (amazing continental plus ‘to order’ eggs and bacon) offered ‘whenever’. Simply Devine!

Maria and all the other staff were very pleasant and helpful, helping us with recommendations, reservations and taxi. The lounge area was lovely, really peaceful with complementary refreshments and tea and coffee making facilities. The breakfast was exceptional. Everything we wanted. Granola, muesli, fruits, yoghurt, cheese, meats, pastries, jams, etc. Great juice and coffee. Eggs to order, recommend the omelettes! There was no set time which suited us. Room was very clean and comfortable. No noise despite slight street view. Was also a kettle and water in the room. No fridge but not an issue. We had a great stay and would recommend. Try also the Port from Graham’s - very good. Location was perfect right by the river. If they had slippers and a dressing gown I would not leave. Highly recommended!

“Not worth the price.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double or Twin Room with Street View
- • Stayed 3 nights
The mattress on the bed was very used (many hills and valleys made by prior visitors). I understand the limitations of space but the show stall was glass and part of the bedroom itself (no doors or walls for privacy). I thought the room was overpriced. The table top should have been white but was smeared with charcoal like substances that could not be wiped off. The maid forgot to leave 1 hand towel one day; and 2 hand towels the next day. We did not complain because it just didn't seem worth it. The main managers were very kind and helpful and rescued this hotel from being a total write-off in my mind.
The breakfast and location were very good.

“CHARMING HOTEL, EXCELLENT LOCATION, TINY SPACES.”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Double or Twin Room with Street View
- • Stayed 2 nights
My room was SO small! It was the smallest of my entire trip and yet the most expensive! That was disappointing... The bed had something sort of lumpy in it that was not comfortable for me. The breakfast wasn't great for me. There was one person working who would often not be there so that I needed to wait to ask for everything and then the eggs just weren't done very nicely. The space, again, was cramped where we were taking our food from - I found it to be a bit difficult to work with. Not my favorite. It would have helped, when I was shown a restaurant on a map, to have the address. I ended up walking miles too far in the dark alone.
Lovely property in the best possible location. Even though I did not have a river-view room, there was a view from one of my small windows. Quiet and charming. Well located, also, for restaurants... Staff were LOVELY and very helpful.
