    Very good

    Pros: We loved the location. It is a great location. A perfect base of operations to see the town. Close to many restaurants. The spa was incredibly nice.
    Cons: Figuring out how to drive there. I placed the hotel in three different Satnav systems. One wanted to take me through Jesus College and another one wanted to take me across a pedestrian bridge.

    Large comfy rooms with good...

    Pros: Room was very good overall: huge by European standards, same for bath, King bed was comfortable and the pillows were excellent (not too hard). Room even had large iMac computer, but truth be told, it was very slow, (WIFI loading on my ipad was much quicker, doesn't make much sense but thats the way it was). SIX restaurant pleasant, had nice view. The squid was tad overcooked but the tomato soup, broccoli and lamb were excellent. Breakfast was very good as well. Rooftop bar was closed but that looks like it would be great in the summer. River Bar Steakhouse had even better view of river and food was very good as well. Lamb chops were excellent.
    Cons: Front desk could have been better: understaffed and looked like OJT going on, ie when there was a second member staffing the front desk he couldn't answer our questions. Not quite as centrally located as , say - The Hilton, but still a pretty easy walk to most of town. I like a dark room: Curtains were awful. After sunrise, you could read a book with the light the curtains let in. See pic
