This is a little hotel made from some houses so there isn't a lobby or lifts. But my room was spacious and had everything I needed (little mini kitchen in the corner too!). The breakfast was excellent. We hung in the dining room at the end our our day with some drinks chatting with other guests and the bartender which was really nice. This was our favorite place to stay on this trip.

Great price and great location! Very responsive & friendly staff at the caffe. Room service was good except that some of the equipment in the room (e.g., soap dispensers and lights) should be checked regularly. Soap dispensers in our room were all faulty. Note to future guests with disabilities: There are no lift to help carry heavy luggage to the upper floors. Everything must be hauled up via the stairway. That wasn't a problem for us but perhaps to others who might ask the staff for help (They'll do it with a smile)

This was a great hotel. The room and bed were huge. Everything was spotless. We travelled by public transport and the hotel was about a 20 minute walk from the station. Although the hotel is not right in the centre, it is only a few minutes from the Head of the River pub and 10 minutes from the Westgate centre. The area is beautiful and very quiet
