an okay stay.

good locationpastries selectionhigh noisecramped room

the location was good for accessing public transport. it was a short walk to the tram stop. the breakfast included many options. i liked the selection of pastries and fruits available each morning.

The room i had was quite small, and it felt cramped, especially with luggage. the noise levels were a bit high. I could hear street noise, and it disrupted sleep. it wasn't very comfortable

Excellent Stay Near the Quays

easy parkingearly check-indamp smell

Car parking was easy and cost just £7 for 24 hours. I was grateful that staff let me check in early. A man at the check-in desk got us our rooms quickly. The room overlooked the river and was nice and clean. Breakfast the next day offered many choices.

The room smelled a bit damp. It needs addressing.

Rooms

The twin room included comfortable beds, albeit quite high (I almost needed a step stool!). Effective air conditioning worked well, greatly appreciated as the room felt quite warm.

Location

The hotel's location near the quays provided beautiful scenery, especially at night. Little ducks swam in the water and added to the charm. The hotel is conveniently located near amenities.
