Large and clean rooms with a good range of basic facilities and amenities. Great central location. Room though had no real cooling choices and in the warm weather it was too warm, especially over night.

Right on the main street, so a bit noisy. Good room but somehow not in the atmosphere of the place. Information on the door about where to get keys would be helpful.

Decent rooms for solo travel. Nothing fancy. And not too noisy. Breakfast in the great hall at Christchurch is an experience, Harry potter vibes are strong. Location is excellent, right next to a supermarket and in walking distance of great restaurants and attractions. Would come back. Staff are really strict on 3pm check in but there is a luggage store facility that is quite handy.
