Is what is advertised.
Would be nice to have a jug in the room to make a morning coffee as walking down the hallway to kitchenette uncomfortable.
Room clean and very comfortable. Close to amenities, shops and cafe.

Very small and above a noisy Pub.
I was surprised to find this was a pub with rooms above. Consequently pretty noisy. Room was tiny with no room for hanging clothes or fridge/jug for making a cuppa. Room was clean but hallways and stairways felt unkept and a bit grubby. Just not at all what I was expecting.

Great for what it is. Hot shower, comfortable bed !
The property was easy walking from The train station but needed an uber to get into town. Room was clean and adequate but it was quite noisy as it’s above a bar
The hotel location was very convenient for us and the menu lunch and dinner very enjoyable.
Room was quiet and quite spacious.
The serious downside was the lack of a mini fridge and kettle IN OUR EN SUITE ROOM.
With the shared fridge and kettle it was somewhere between a ‘Pub room ‘ and a completely comfortable , nicely carpeted 2.5 * hotel room .
A good experience somewhat spoiled by penny pinching!
All the staff were cold except one of the male bartenders, he was a genuine guy.

Ok for a night
I arrived at a very busy time and had to wait for a little while before I was served and that’s ok as the staff were polite and courteous. When we enetered the accomodation corridor from the bar there was a fusty smell which was also present in the room. The room was a little small but ok for one night. Air conditioning worked well. The bed was very bouncy and any slight move from my partner it sent ripples through the bed so we both didn’t have a great sleep. The shower was good and hot water with ok pressure but a little mould in the grout. My towel had clearly been washed but it was rather stained. There was a little noise in the room emanating from the bar when it was open but that must be anticipated when staying at a pub. Overall ok for one nights stay.
For a basic room to sleep it’s fine but the cockroaches in the room and the shower are a real turnoff. Luckily we were just at the room to sleep and leave. Staff there were great though
Location was handy as we were attending a function in the hotel. Room was good. Ensuite was small but adequate for our needs. Everything was clean and the staff were great.
