Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Georgian Townhouse is often praised for its well-equipped and spacious rooms, with some apartments even featuring a kitchenette and washing machine. The location is convenient, being within walking distance of the city centre, Unthank Road shops and pubs, and just a couple of minutes from the cathedral. Guests appreciate the on-site free parking and the bar and restaurant; some found that the bench seats in the bar area moved around a bit. Many recommend the food, particularly the roast with its large Yorkshire pudding, and the superb breakfasts with perfectly cooked poached eggs.

delicious smoked salmonanniversary celebration
Breakfast was tasty and the service was friendly. The scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly. The smoked salmon was also delicious.
I booked a specific room months in advance for my anniversary. Upon arrival, I learned the hotel gave my room to a wedding party. I was offered a different room across the road, which I did not book.

The breakfast had a LOT of choices. The cooked breakfast tasted delicious. I parked my car in their car park though space WAS limited. The hotel staff were friendly. The pub staff next door were also friendly.
The sink drained slowly, causing a potential flood. The shower head was broken. Water spilled out of the hose. There WAS little power to the main shower head. The main light in the living room did not work.
