In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Distinctive themed rooms — Each room has a unique theme, from the Samurai King with its sunken marble bath to the Oak Four Poster and French Rococo styles. Guests mention quirky details and hidden touches.
  • Breakfast that guests remember — Continental breakfast is frequently highlighted for its variety and quality, with options like cereal, fruit juice, and fresh produce. Special diet menus are available.
  • Tech-forward app for room control — An in-house app lets guests order breakfast and control room temperature, a feature several reviewers call a game-changer.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Location scores lower than other categories — The guest house is about a 10-15 minute walk to the city centre and The Bars, which is fine for some but might be a bit far for others who prefer to be right in the action.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a furry friend, this isn't the place – the property has a strict no-pets policy.
  • Check-in window ends at 23:59 — If you're arriving very late, the check-in is only until midnight, which might be tight for some travellers.
