Lovely overnight stay

Lovely hotel, car park is a way off but you can drop and pick up luggage which helps. Our ground floor room was spacious and well furnished but it looked onto the main road which meant the curtains needed to be closed for privacy. Staff were very helpful, well trained and polite. Food and drink which was tried was good too!

This is a gem. It is quaint and elegant, but has every wonderful contemporary amenity. So comfortable and an amazing staff. We enjoyed the restaurant. Great access to the cathedral and museums, can walk down to the river. Shop at the antique market or some sweet little shops downtown. Highly recommend.

Almost a really good hotel

A pleasant, clean, well-maintained hotel in an ideal position, with friendly, helpful staff and good breakfasts. But yet another hotel where the designer has had the last word. Hotel managers should spend a week in each room in their hotel, then there would be more drawer space, plenty of sockets at useful heights, hooks for coats (especially damp ones), brighter lighting and comfortable armchairs instead of baths in bedrooms, mirrors everywhere except near the hairdryer socket, and no shaver socket. Our 3 night stay was enjoyable, but with a bit more thought given to practical living, it could have been so much better.

Poet House Stay

The room was very boujee. Creature comforts such as robes, slipers, and toiletries get a big thums up. Room 19. The door handle to the room door was concerningly loose. It was escalated to the front desk but still awaiting repair after two nights stay. The underfloor heating in the bathroom was too hot. It could do with controls that we could adjust.
