    Nice relaxing stay

    Had a standard king room with air conditioning and a tv. The bathroom came equipped with free toiletries and a hairdryer. There's a spa and wellness center with a sauna. Breakfast was a decent buffet, but getting a table felt chaotic due to its self-service nature.

    Very nice location on the river and friendly staff. A hotel with stylish furnishings.

    Squeaking floorboards in the night from another room. Thin walls.

    All is fine.

    The wellness area is a joke! No sauna only a mini pool and a whirlpool - but probably this is already considered as wellness for England.
