I stated overall good and convenient.

8.0

Overall, the property is terrific, very well located, convenient, and it felt safe.

− The whole property was very good. The photographs conveys convey a beautiful spot, and the reality is it needs a little attention here and there based the two rooms that I got to see. The bed linens are fantastic, as are the towels. It’s if he has to whether or not you’re gonna have hand soap or shampoo in your room. In my room, number one. The toilet seat slides around, the shower head needs to be soaked in vinegar to clean out the blockages, and the carpet needs to be upgraded. I offer this as constructive suggestions. I might add that there’s no light outside of the number one room in the hallway, which makes it a little bit difficult when you come home after hours.

Great value. Super comfy and awesome pizza

9.0

Good big room with very comfy bed. Good coffee machine and lovely linen. Pizza in the pub downstairs was spectacular as was the service from Aisa.

− Room is a bit shabby but linen is absolutely perfect

Disappointing stay – photos do not reflect reality

1.0

Nothing, be careful before booking this hotel.

− Be careful when booking this hotel. The pictures do not reflect the reality. There was no office desk in the room, and no elevator to access the rooms, which is a real issue if you have luggage. I checked out early because the room was not as expected, but the hotel refused to cancel the remaining nights or offer any refund. I would recommend checking all the details directly with the hotel before booking, as what you see in the listing may not be what you actually get.

a comfortable and cute room in a lovely pub

10.0

The bed was extremely comfortable and the room was clean and large. The place is very well looked after and the staff was lovely. Very cute blue bathroom.

− I thought it would be too loud being at a pub but the windows were super thick and we didn’t hear anything at all (so this dislike is actually a like?)
