It is very pleasant hotel with excellent staff. The dining room and room service fee are very expensive. There seems to be no recycling effort made in the hotel.

I particularly liked the variety of lounges of different sizes with good views as overlooking the river. The location was especially convenient for river walks and public transport yet at the same time quiet.

Excellent hotel, fantastic staff

Hotel is a traditional hotel with excellent staff (definitely a great asset). Our second stay here and rooms and bathrooms have recently been refurbished. The restaurants are good, breakfast excellent. Car parking avaiable (if you have a disabled badge let reception know and rhey will reserve you a space in the car park). If there is a slight downside to the hotel it would be that the corridors upstairs are a little narrow (the building is older) but there is a lift and we had an accessible room which was excellent.

Great venue and staff, but my stay was marred by their dress code for dining. I'm not going to let a hotel tell me what to wear when I'm relaxing. I had to eat out. Dress code made me feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. I understand why it's there, but I think in this day and age it just seems old-fashioned, snobby, condescending, and actually quite insulting.

The building looked great inside and out. The staff were all very nice made you feel welcome. One night I came back at 1am and was still greeted by a smile which you don't get everywhere. The restaurant attached to the hotel looked great. The rooms are all well done out and feel cosy. Would definitely stay again.

Riverside hotel with excellent rooms and exceptional cleanliness. Reception was a bit functional rather than warm and dining expensive compared to many surrounding options.
