This boutique hotel really impressed me with its cleanliness and comfort. The location is just perfect, right by the river and close to everything I wanted to explore. However, while the service was accommodating, the dining options weren't ideal, and I felt they could improve on that front. Overall, it provided good value for money, but there's definitely room for enhancement in the dining experience.

This boutique hotel offers a charming retreat with clean and comfortable rooms that truly enhance the stay. I appreciated the friendly service, especially when they happily accommodated my request for an early check-in. The location is absolutely ideal, just steps away from lovely riverside restaurants and a short walk to Windsor Castle. However, I found the dining options a bit lacking since there was no breakfast included, and that aspect could definitely use some improvement.
