Amazing staff in a ‘different’ hotel. Lovely experience, with a glass of Prosecco and bubbles, and other complimentary items which were lovely touches. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. The breakfast was tasty and delivered to the room. In places the room could do with some refining, there was a hole in the wall where the door closer had hit it, paint cans visible under the stairs. Minor points but at this price point is worth considering. Great location in town close to lots of bars and restaurants.

Great location. Warm friendly welcome and very friendly and attentive staff. Lovely little extra touches with complimentary prosecco and nibbles, cookies and milk for bed and complimentary coffee. Only negative about the room was no wardrobe or anywhere to hang clothes other than the dedicated hook on the door.

All of the staff were fantastic, everyone was so friendly and keen to help, they really made us feel welcome. All of the little perks were a wonderful touch like free hot chocolate, cookies, prosecco and antipasti. Would definitely stay again

Stylish hotel with great touches. Staff friendly and professional. As with all hotels in this area, the sound from the streets in the evening was very loud. There was no aircon so we has to have the windows open and didn't sleep well. The standard king room was the smallest hotel room I've come acrosd. There was nowhere to put clothes apart from on top of bags or on the floor. Feel it should be described as a small room rather than standard. Some extra hooks would help with clothes. We would probably stay again but only in the winter when the windows wouldnt bask for a larger top floor room.

Damp & musty lets it down

It’s a real shame as visually the hotel is very nice and effort has been put in. However I was in one of the basement rooms and was immediately greeted with a musty damp smell. There is no AC or extractor in the bathroom so the room is constantly damp. The hotel would really benefit from AC to clear the damp air. I did appreciate the morning breakfast delivered to the bedroom, was a nice touch.

Lovely hotel and really nice decor. There was complementary Prosecco, milk and cookies for supper and breakfast brought to the room, they really go the extra mile for guests. I don’t usually leave reviews but I couldn’t not leave a review.

Great base for going out to socialise. The rooms on the lower ground were subject to a lot of external noise, particularly with it being the weekend. Water in the shower was cold on arrival. In fairness the staff responded promptly and resolved it but the following the same happened again. We requested 1 gluten free breakfast due to my wifes gluten allergy but what was provided was not what we ordered.

Basement room let's it down

Friendly staff. Small quaint hotel. Drinks and breakfast complimentary. Dark and musty basement room let down the overall stay

The look of the hotel was great, lots of nice touches, great decor and style, cookies at night and prosecco in the evening, lovely bathroom, breakfast in bed was a nice touch but the room was small so there was nowhere to even put the tray for breakfast and as we were in the basement the room was uncomfortably damp so you woke up feeling cold and clammy as the sheets felt damp to the touch. Staff were apologetic and understanding but could do nothing to solve the problem.
