Loved by The Kings Arms Hotel guests
"The room was small but absolutely perfect! The decor was beautifully done, inspiring so much so we found out what the wallpaper was."
"We were in Room 6 which overlooked the square but two lots of glazing meant we didn't hear any noise, the windows could be opened."
"If you book directly with the Kings Arms, you can walk to the hotel and they will sort your parking online at a reduced cost."

great breakfastcentral location
The hotel's location is CENTRAL (just steps from shops). Parking is available behind the hotel. The staff can help with the permit. THE breakfast was satisfactory with plenty of choices.
The cups were not washed well and there was a coffee ring in one.

perfect locationtiny windowkitchen smell
The hotel location was spot on and right in the middle of town.
The room felt smaller than what I expected, and the window was tiny. A smell from the kitchens kept wafting up to my room in the evening. I was also woken in the night each time the people in the room next door flushed the loo, which wasn't very relaxing.

friendly staffsmall tvstreet noise
the staff was friendly, and the location was central.
I was disappointed with the room. the tv was small and far from the bed. Viewing it was difficult, though i understand this might be due to the room size, i did expect better. there was also some noise late at night from what sounded like street cleaning. This disrupted my sleep.

dining area cleanlinessrushed waiter
I found that the cleanliness in the dining area was not ideal. There were some crumbs on the floor near my table. The waiter seemed rushed, asking about my order multiple times before I could decide (I felt a bit pressured). I could hear staff discussing other guests near the till. This.
