river view helpful staff convenient location

The hotel has a super location near many transport connections. The rooms feature a wonderful view of the river. The staff kept my bag while I walked around.

The bathroom had an awkward layout, making sitting on the toilet a bit uncomfortable.

quiet room great breakfast excellent location

The location was excellent. The room was super clean and quiet. The bar downstairs served breakfast that was the best in town.

i found no instructions regarding fire safety, lacking safe exit signs and accessible stairs, with only a lift available.
