I stayed in a 1 bedroom suite with a fantastic river view. The size of the suite was great and the location was superb. The staff at reception were genuinely helpful throughout my stay. The rooms aren't completely soundproof and even with the secondary glazing in the bedroom you can still hear some train noise outside. But overall it was a really great place to stay and I'd definitely stay again.
