I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel's character-filled rooms and great en-suite facilities. However, the absence of a reception area and a slightly underwhelming breakfast basket were minor letdowns. The view from the room straight into a multi-storey car park brought in some noise and fumes from the constant vehicle activity.

The hotel's location was very convenient for exploring the city and cathedral, although being directly opposite an NCP car park brought some mixed views and a bustle of street activities.

I found this place to be a cozy spot with well-presented rooms and quality furnishings. The warmth was perfect, but the rooms were a tad smaller than anticipated. The service was top-notch, friendly, and accommodating despite some noise issues. The location was ideal for attending the Three Choirs Festival and exploring the city. The dining service offered a minimal yet appreciated continental breakfast delivered to the room. Overall, it's a lovely location with room for improvement.
