Staff were professional, attentive not only on the front desk but in the restaurant.
I can't fault my room for the cleanliness, amenities with good WiFi and the views of the river were very nice to wake up too.

Pleasant stay
Was pleasant. Whilst by a busyish road, restaurant and bar at rear overlooking river with wildlife which was pleasant. Restaurant had a brief but competent menu, with several vegetarian/ vegan options. Very friendly staff. Room was small in terms of floorspace but otherwise perfectly comfortable with bath and good sized bed. Cooked buffet breakfast. Felt modern overall. Would be happy to stay again
