The hotel is ideally located with easy access to town amenities and offers a 10% discount at local restaurants. The room was spacious and clean, but there was a slight issue with smoke smell entering the room. The staff were attentive and accommodating, especially when assisting with special occasions. The dining experience was pleasant but could use improvement in breakfast variety.

I had a bit of a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a nice clean bathroom and a good breakfast. However, the single glazed windows made my stay a bit miserable. The service was friendly and helpful, except for a minor issue with housekeeping. The location was convenient for exploring the main areas of St Ives but needed some maintenance. The dining experience was OK, but the quality could have been better. Overall, a decent stay with some ups and downs.

Location

The hotel's location was really good as it was within walking distance of the main areas in St Ives and the beautiful River Ouse. However, it could have been better for taking a walk into town as it was a bit far, about 5 minutes away.

Dining

5.0

The dining experience was passable, with hearty but not top-notch meals. The breakfast had some issues like cold plates, tinned fruit, and limited choices.

The hotel had the basics covered but nothing exceptional in terms of facilities.
