The hotel is in a fantastic place for walking. Sited on the river is beautiful with all glass windows on the dining/ bar side. Staff was always helpful. The room was small but well laid out for two people. Comfy bed and great shower.

Really nice hotel, highly recommend staying here. Staff were excellent all round, great central location. Honestly felt like a 5 star hotel. Comfy beds, great wifi. Simple things like an EU power plug at the in room desk was incredibly helpful.
