Clean comfortable room convenient location pleasant staff - all I needed for 1 night, will stay again if I need to - highly recommend for the price, excellent value
The room was clean and lovely, as was the shared bathrooms and kitchenette. The aircon kept the room cool, with good blackout curtains allowing a solid sleep in.
The staff were very helpful during my 5 night stay. Facilities and extras that were provided like breakfast, showers, lounge area were all more than satisfactory for my needs. The room was spacious for one person. The single bed was very comfortable. The wide variety of eating options within 500 metres was a positive.
Our stay was wonderful, they have complementary breakfast (milk, juice. bread, cereals and yoghurt) bathrooms were slightly squishy but great pressure and hot water. Friendly staff and really accommodating.
Country pub feeling in a city pub. It was clean and quiet with off street parking and staff were great. The meal in the dining area was absolutely fantastic and well priced.
Great staff on check-in went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Lovely old building full of history with touches of modern style. Great food and live entertainment . Will for sure be back
Always lovely to stay here. As a solo woman traveller, I feel quite safe and the rooms/linen/bathrooms are very clean and well maintained. I love that the old fashioned decor is maintained.
Old charming Hotel in a lovely area. Budget friendly includes breakfast; this is generous on their behalf for their guests to start the day. Grateful to Christopher & Will for giving me a spacious, quiet & lovely room. Thank you for your warm hospitality!
Charming place, great vibe, great staff, room was lovely, food was great too!! The live band playing that night was also awesome!!
the only fault is that the bathroom light is on a timer & it went out half way through my shower so I had to finish shaving my legs in the dark!!
Rooms are simple and comfortable.
Shared bathrooms are obviously not modern, but extremely clean.
All in all a great place to get a simple night's sleep
Good value. Room clean, beds comfortable. Self serve breakfast is available and included in the price. Excellent bar and bistro. Live music Friday and Saturday is noisy but you're warned. That was my 3rd stay and will stay again.
