Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The St Nicholas Boutique Hotel enjoys a superb location, very close to the railway station and right in the town centre, making it easy to explore. Guests appreciate the unique and spacious rooms, some featuring beautiful stained-glass windows with views over the town. The beds are often mentioned as being very comfortable, and while a few guests have noted the furniture being mismatched, many find the rooms amazingly clean and appreciate the extra touches like available hot chocolate.

Fantastic Spot near Everything

friendly staff included fridge smart tv spacious shower

I found the staff friendly. The room had a fridge with water and canned drinks. I had a smart tv in my room, which i appreciated. The spacious shower, unlike cramped cubicles in other hotels, was a plus.

The room WASN'T ready when I arrived at check-in time.

attentive staff beautiful space fluffy towels

The staff were attentive to every detail. our room, the king room, offered a beautiful space. crisp linens and fluffy towels added a touch of luxury. The room was super clean. we loved that it was a short walk from the railway station.

The tv had no reception for any channels. This was a disappointment in our room, and we felt it was cheaply finished.
