Excellent Stay

clean roomgreat showergreat locationloud music
The room was very clean and lovely. A great shower was available. The location is great for Thames Path walking. I highly recommend this location.
My room was above the pub. Loud music played from 8:00 AM until 10:20 PM. This filled the room with bass beats.

Underwhelming Stay Due to Maintenance Issues

friendly staffbroken shower handlemissing bottle top
The staff were friendly and the location near the river was convenient.
Unfortunately, the bathroom had issues. The shower handle broke off during use, and the shower cubicle flooded. The maintenance problems persisted, as the water bottle in the room was missing a top and there was only one teabag provided, details affecting the overall experience.
