Fire alarm.
My stay was ok, other than the fire alarm going off at 3am. No explanation, no apology. My room was adequate and the fried breakfast was good. Service at breakfast was ok, but as there was only one person covering breakfast, there was no greeting and I was very much left to sort myself out.

Unsatisfactory accommodation
We put 3 sub contractors into your hotel for 2 nights. One bathroom was dirty with mold & “mushroom” growing! One room had food stains on the carpet. General cleanliness & attention to detail very poor. Main parts of hotel & food good!

The kitchen staff were really excellent, waiters quick and efficient. Something went badly wrong with room maintenance, unlikely to happen again.

Good stay, reasonably priced and very convenient for cycling along the canal nearby. They have good bike storage. One small recommendation for improvement; if a curtain could be placed over the entrance to the room, to block out the electric light from the courtyard at night.

A night by the river.
We had a pleasant stay at the hotel including attending a lovely wedding reception. Our bedroom and bathroom were clean and tidy. My only criticism would be that the pillows on the bed were too hard - one was not high enough, but two were too high. We had an issue with our car and therefore couldn't stay both the nights we had booked but the hotel staff were very efficient and were able to refund us the second night.

Could do better. Staff were attentive when located
Mediocre. The place was a little unkempt in the outdoor areas. Bathroom hadn’t had a deep clean for a while. My room was not attended to for the three nights I stayed and I had to go in search of clean towels after two nights. Pillow cases had a smell of having sat around damp before being dried.
