Excellent value for a boutique style room, very clean and quiet even though above a lovely pub/restaurant. Great location. I can’t fault this hotel at all and would happily stay again and recommend.

Must admit was not quite sure about self booking in system. But..they called me the first night to make sure I was ok/happy. The room/ facilities were excellent. Loved the welcome bottle of beer...although didn’t have it but sure it was appreciated. Booking out a little disjointed... Door card dropbox inside foyer...logout pad outside entrance door. Otherwise..great concept...thank you

Checking in was a little bit of a struggle because the machine wasn't working, but staff was super helpful, and we eventually got the key card working. The room was spacious, and the food at the bar below the hotel was so good! Appreciated the free beer for hotel guests too. Overall, a good stay!

Easy check in other than the card scanner wasn’t working at the time but the staff came and helped us! Also no elevator lots of stairs if your staying on top floor like us ! So if you have lots of baggage and aren’t young and able to lift it up may be something to take into consideration. Rooms were spotless, beds comfortable, set with everything you need.. free water bottles, a couple snacks, toiletries… 10/10! Only complaint is the room gets pretty hot and opening the window/ turning on the small fan doesn’t help. And it wasn’t hot weather during our stay just the building was stuffy and hot!

We were able to get a free parking spot on the street which was very nice. Check in was incredibly easy. The beer was very welcome. Only issue which would probably rarely be an issue for anyone else was the unseasonably warm weather, no air conditioning, and the windows would not open. There was a small fan that helped.

Close to everything, perfect location, easy to navigate, it states that it’s above the bar and we thought it would be noisy turned out it wasn’t at all and great that they give free beer! Self service, not difficult at all at the same time it is the best time ever so I have no encounter with the staff which is great for an introvert and anti socialist
