The Grapes Pub

Flying visit Excellent reception,helpful in carrying case. Lovely room , excellent value. Help with taxi number etc

Staff were excellent

We were warned it would be noisy but it wasn't and the entire experience was terrific.

Good: I picked this hotel because of proximity to the cruise ship port. It is just a 1 min walk to the entry of the port. Eating/drinking - there is a bar at the bottom of the hotel, and many right around the area just feet away. Bad: Small stairs to go up to room difficult to carry luggage. Rm is tiny, but doable. The small twin? bed had a head board and foot board which forced me to cruch into a ball to fit on the bed. Im 6'2". If it didnt have a foot board would have been able to just hang my feet off and would have been ok. The shower was also small (more usual in europe) and the shower head holder actually broke while i was showering.

This property is on a street that is closed off to traffic. It is not listed clearly in the listing. It was difficult to get to via the transportation we had from Heathrow and we had to drag our bags from the street to the hotel. This is was for both the check in and check out. We were in town to catch a cruise.

Brilliant stay, a lot of thought has gone onto this place, the bed is super comfy as is the linen used, fantastic selection of toiletries, loads of tea and coffee making available, no stingyness here, small fridge in room and immaculately clean. There is a lot of history attached to this place which is reflected in the pub decor. I stayed Friday night and consider myself a light sleeper, it was a bit noisy as this is a grade two listed building so I don't think the double glazing sales man is going to pick up a ticket here... Funny enough the noise was really not a problem, it was quite by 12.30. The owners have put fans and heaters in the room so having the window closed in Summer is not an issue. I was staying in room 4 which looks out onto the street, it's a large room and probably one of the best nights sleep in a very long time..... Real thought and care has gone into making these rooms very customer focused, I would definitely stay again and am all for supporting independent business. There is an air bed in the room if your travelling with a little one. The stairs may be a challenge for some, but you are in the heart of some of the best eateries, so a very, very short walk to pubs and restaurants which saves the legs, there's also a separate secure entrance, so your not walking through a pub to get to your room...... Staff were really friendly and helpful. This place is fantastic and has a really good energy to re-charge in..... Thankyou!
