Staff great, especially Wendy at breakfast...... We dined in 2 of the nights and the meals were lovely amd reasonably priced. The hotel is looking a little tired in places now and our room was noisy with the aircon units outside the window R 215. Lack of constant staff presence at the bar to order drinks and food sometimes meant a wait. Or asking at reception.

I had a lovely stay. Rooms were nice, although my shower area as a bit of a squeeze, especially when you consider I'm not a tall person at all, but that was OK. Comfy beds, quiet area. Friendly staff. Nice walks to the river.

Great hotel, be specific with your needs and pref

A frequent user of this hotel as it is good location for my work trips. Always love the beds and the breakfast is varied and good quality. Downsides, very few rooms have a bath and as a solo traveller I’m often put on the main corridor so am frequently woken by other guests running up and down corridor/shouting at night and the cleaner at 5:30/6am bashing the wall with their broom or mop. If staying be really clear with your preferences or needs.
