Lovely hotel with real character. Loud music and noise from the canal side and bars until about 0430 am though, so not ideal if you actually want to sleep

The room was beautiful and spotless. The free glass of Kylie prosecco on arrival set the mood. The staff were pleasant and helpful. Would definitely stay again and recommend. There was a bit of noise from the street below, but your staying on a party street and that what I expected.

Alistair, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely room, couldn’t fault it bar the bathroom sink wouldn’t empty and it was a bit dusty above the bed (it might’ve been the lighting making that look worse).
IAIN, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The location and building were lovely. The room was very spacious and nicely furnished! It can be a bit noisy on an evening from nearby bars but it wasn’t anything of an issue for me. Unfortunately on my stay the heating was not working and some others within the hotel had mentioned. So was a little bit cold in the room. Overall a nice stay! With nice staff!
