Fairly clean and tasteful place. Nice personnel in a wheelchair. Luxurious, spotless rooms complete with a balcony, nice touches such as wood trim in the bathrooms plus the wardrobes. Marvellous and awesome location for enjoying pubs and eateries next to the hotel. Plus, walking distance to Dean Village. Good restaurant and outdoor bar on-site. Recommend to others.

The guest room overlooks the river and includes an electric kettle, a refrigerator, and glassware. Its location is prime, near restaurants and places, Trinity College, the Castle, and Cathedral and the centre of the party, very nice area.

Cool place, it was reasonably clean and had very polite staff on reception desk. One of the advantages - large and stylish rooms; they included a shower, a hairdryer, and bath sheets. The location in a pretty comfortable area was marvellous and there were convenience stores and shops nearby. Stayed here for 2 nights and did not want to leave.
