I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were a bit too small for comfort, with no space for essential items like a night table or proper lighting, but the view overlooking the river and car park was a plus. The meal at the restaurant in the evening was fantastic, offering a glimpse of the hotel’s culinary skills.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The room, accessed via a rather dirty staircase, with a worn and dirty carpet and a narrow and low corridor, remained pretty cold throughout my stay. However, the view of the river from the second-floor room made the initial struggle with luggage worth it. The design of the windows was a disaster on hot days.

Despite the disappointing condition and temperature of the room, the view of the river from the second floor was a redeeming quality.

Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were very comfortable, but we only discovered the tea and coffee on our departure after checking the drawers. The view from one of the superior rooms at the front was lovely, but the outdated armchairs and table were a bit disappointing. The lack of soundproofing made it hard to ignore noise from the corridor.
