Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Pros: very friendly staff, comfortable room and bedding, very good for the couple of nights I spent there. Cons: walls are very thin. First night no issue, second night was unlucky enough to have a neighbour flush their toilet at 5am, which sounded like the whole building was coming down, and other neighbours making a ruckus at 6am. Also had some silverfish in the bathroom, but those are tough to avoid in the uk.

All the staff were amazing, friendly and welcoming. We spoke to Maddy a lot who was charming and effervescent. The pub was a lovely place to be at the end of a day of exploring. We had a wonderful room with everything we could want. Thanks for the fantastic stay.

The room was clean, very outdated and very overcrowded. The staff were friendly. Very overpriced for what you get. For £100 a night, breakfast should have been included.
