“The Duke William strikes me as a proper British experience, starting with its pub roots and extending to its menu. Its location, high on the hill in the old city, puts the cathedral and castle within easy reach. I appreciate that beyond the expected comforts, it accommodates dietary needs with vegetarian, vegan, and dairy-free options.”

A romantic getaway

the location allowed us to easily explore nearby attractions by foot. i particularly loved the delicious breakfast with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients each morning.
the floorboards in the hallway creaked loudly. we could hear other guests walking past our room at night, which disturbed our sleep.

the hotel is situated within walking distance of historical sites. guests can easily access the cathedral and castle, both only moments away, though the parking was a little challenging to navigate at first.

Satisfactory Experience with a Few Drawbacks
helpful staffgood storagebroken tvcreaky floorboards
Breakfast was enjoyable, but cereal options were limited. Staff was helpful, and the cleanliness of the room exceeded my expectations. Storage space in the room was a definite plus, and I found more room than what I often see at hotels.
I didn't like when the TV in my room didn't work. The barman tried to solve the problem but had to keep going back and forth. I was also able to hear people walking past my door because of the floorboards.

The staff was very helpful with luggage. My room was super clean and cosy. I had everything I needed. The evening meal offered an excellent choice of menu and quality of food. Breakfast had plenty of excellent choices.
I requested an early check-in, but the pen was missing from the room. I could hear everyone walking past because of the creaky floorboards. The television in the room did not work. It could be quite noisy because the room was directly above the bar.
