We spent one night here a Sunday the bar was closed but were pleased with its location and had a quick and efficient check in lovely large room with four poster and a very good nights sleep. Breakfast was great and the staff very friendly would definitely use again

Stayed for one night in a Thursday. Heck in was easy enough (end of bar). Room was good enough size and had all the facilities. A little on the warm side for my taste. Food choice in the bar is good and meal was well presented and tasted great. Room was on first floor and could hear the bar music fairly loudly until about 22:30 which was annoying. Breakfast was too late for me as check out early. No onsite parking.

Had the red pepper pasta dish last weekend and blown away by how big the portions are. Very filling and tasty. Good quick service. So far so good. Can't fault it!

I stayed here when I was walking the Thames. Large room with a comfortable four poster bed, good shower and large TV. The bar/restaurant downstairs is great for a quick nightcap (small glass of wine, good price) there is a quiet library section that 's great to relax in. Staff were very polite and friendly. The only slight downside is no breakfast, but there 's plenty of choice nearby
