A great choice for convenience

Perfect location with a short walk across the foot bridge to the RSC and other major attractions, and abundant shops, and restaurants. The hotel has an old English charm and though the decor is a bit worn and dated, the staff is very helpful and welcoming.

Brilliant stay

Great stay. Staff really friendly and dog friendly room. Room was so clean and as it was a 50th Birthday celebration the hotel left some Prosecco and chocolates and a handwritten note as well as dog treats and toy. What a big surprise and we all loved it. Definitely stay here again. Thank you.
