The rooms were lovely, modern, and very clean. The hotel facilities were great, with a restaurant and bar that offered delicious food and drinks. We enjoyed the beautiful views of the river from both inside the pub and the large outdoor area. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the main city centre. The breakfast was also very good, with freshly cooked food. The staff were helpful and pleasant. we had a wonderful experience.

Don't have any issues at all. The hotel provided everything we needed and we had a great time.

The room was lovely, clean, and had a great view of the river. The location was perfect, within walking distance of all the sights in the city. The staff were friendly, helpful, and efficient, and the breakfast was one of the best we've had with real milk in the rooms.

Almost perfect. Minor issue with the Yorkshire pudding during the meal.
