Great spot

The building and decor is fabulous. Real feeling of history and space. Outside bar and restaurant lovely on the river even with a regatta and a wedding on.
Phillip, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean and comfortable although bed wasn’t as comfortable as our last stay there 2years ago and room overlooking restaurant side this time so a bit noisier. Good supply of teas, coffee, toilet paper etc and it’s really helpful having decent toiletries in bathroom. We didn’t have breakfast as we had a very early start
Fiona, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was spacious and very clean. I booked a single room and the bed was more like a small double. Breakfast was slightly disappointing as they were not replenishing items quickly enough when they ran out. But overall this was a lovely place to stay.
Louise, 1-night trip

Charlie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location for an overnight stay

Lovely location right by the river. Hotel is spotless and staff were all very helpful although it was understaffed for demand at the bar with long queues because of the glorious weather. Rooms were spacious and spotlessly clean. Would recommend this hotel.

I am not sure if only me encountered this. The shower temperature is not hot enough during my 2 out of my 6 stays
CHEN HSIANG, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Hotel has a nice finish and the staff was friendly, however they would need to work on few details. The room was set for one person when we arrived and didn’t have enough towels, the dryer was not working and breakfast was not too great. Also, finding a spot in the car park can be tricky. Also, bed and pillows were too soft for my liking.
Anna, 2-night trip
