Sound Proofing
Nice hotel but needs to take a serious look into sound proofing. The guy in the room next to me was on the phone and I could hear his conversation word for word. He may aswell made the call in my room. apart from that it was a nice stay.

Excellent hotel, fantastic staff
Hotel is a traditional hotel with excellent staff (definitely a great asset). Our second stay here and rooms and bathrooms have recently been refurbished. The restaurants are good, breakfast excellent. Car parking avaiable (if you have a disabled badge let reception know and rhey will reserve you a space in the car park). If there is a slight downside to the hotel it would be that the corridors upstairs are a little narrow (the building is older) but there is a lift and we had an accessible room which was excellent.

8/10 Very Good

Great venue and staff, but my stay was marred by their dress code for dining. I'm not going to let a hotel tell me what to wear when I'm relaxing. I had to eat out. Dress code made me feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. I understand why it's there, but I think in this day and age it just seems old-fashioned, snobby, condescending, and actually quite insulting.

Riverside hotel with excellent rooms and exceptional cleanliness. Reception was a bit functional rather than warm and dining expensive compared to many surrounding options.
