    “Repeat customer - always a great experience ”

    We’ve been coming here for years - great staff and spacious rooms by European standards. Rooms with a view of the river are quite special. Rooftop bar not to be missed for sunset cocktail. We had a 11-month old baby and they could have been sweeter.
