Cute little hotel but the rooms were spacious, clean and affordable. The cafe connected had great food and the staff were really nice. Short walk to Christ Church and City Center where all the action was happening. I really enjoyed my stay.

Absolutely lovely stay!
The staff was so unbelievably kind - I cannot say enough good things about them! From the free snacks in the cafe through to putting the Olympics on during meals, we were really treated like family. Someone even helped me get my rental car out of the parking lot (which absolutely terrified me as an American). The location is great - right near the folly bridge, a convenient walk to everything while still being quiet and peaceful!

The property was over—rated and very expensive, probably due to surge pricing. The cafe staff were incredibly helpful and that was the saving grace.

The place needs some updating with bathroom walls pilling off and mould around the window. As soon as 7am arrives the whole building smells like breakfast and made the morning uncomfortable until we had to open the window in the room.

The staff were very friendly however this is not a four star hotel and the price did not reflect the accommodation. More like a clean two star hotel with great staff.

We didn’t have a comfortable stay. Our booking of a deluxe quadruple room surprisingly, was actually at the basement of the property with no view. The floor was really damp & cold. Only one thin pillow for each person. One of the cups was stained and the bathroom door was faulty, couldn’t be closed properly. We were served continental breakfast (not full English breakfast), and free snacks & fruits during the stay. The hotel is situated in the residential area, about 7-8 minutes walk to the city centre. On site paid parking available. For £220 per night for 3 pax, on a weeknight, it is overpriced for a basement room :((
