I had a pleasant stay at this boutique hotel located in a charming little historical area. The unique sounds from the river added to the ambiance, and being close to the city center was a definite plus. The rooms were modern and comfortable, although a bit pricier than expected. The dining experience stood out, especially with the delightful Welsh pastry. However, I did feel the need for more amenities to enhance the overall experience.

My stay at this boutique hotel was quite pleasant overall! The rooms were clean and boasted a comfortable atmosphere, and I really appreciated the unique charm of the place. The staff was welcoming and genuinely nice to interact with. On the downside, the breakfast selection left a bit to be desired, and while the amenities were decent, there's definitely room for improvement in that area. Overall, I found it to be a good value for the money, especially with its cozy vibe.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel, with its charming boutique atmosphere and clean, spacious rooms. The tranquil location along the river offered a peaceful retreat while still being within reach of the city center. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with fewer breakfast choices than I hoped for. Overall, it was a good value for my money, and I appreciated the staff's attentiveness during my visit.

I just returned from a lovely stay at this boutique hotel, which is nestled in a charming little Dutch historical area. The rooms were wonderfully clean and incredibly comfortable, making it a great choice for relaxation. The only downside was the dining experience; I found the breakfast options pretty limited. On the plus side, I really enjoyed the peaceful ambiance created by the soothing sounds from the nearby river.

While the dining options were limited, the overall experience offered great value for money and a peaceful atmosphere, though the Wi-Fi situation was less than ideal since it wasn't included in the stay.
