The rooms were well-designed with a beautiful bed, and the hotel had great facilities. The shower was excellent, and we loved the complimentary bath products. We especially appreciated the small touches, like the welcome letter on the bed. The staff were incredibly helpful and made our stay enjoyable. The hotel's location was convenient, as it was just a 10-minute walk from the main attractions in town. We also found the public parking across the street to be very convenient.

Nothing, all excellent.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel just outside the city center. The location was perfect, only 5 minutes away from Elvet bridge. The hotel facilities were top-notch, and I especially enjoyed the hot tub in the Eden Lodge. The cleanliness of the room was impeccable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Lastly, the breakfast was delicious and a great way to start the day.

Couldn't stay longer.
