    The room overlooking the road was quite noisy, making it hard to sleep.

    delightful breakfast

    an emotional haven for every traveler, where every request is met with care and attentiveness, just like my daughter's special bowl of fresh fruit during breakfast

    Warm atmosphere, attentive staff, delightful breakfast.

    Amazing stay with friendly vibes!

    Really enjoyed my night here. The mini suite was super spacious and had these cool exposed beams. Breakfast was self-serve and hit the spot. Those scotched eggs were a must-try! Only hiccup was that the Wi-Fi was kinda spotty. a fab place to chill out.

    satisfactory stay but needs improvements

    The staff were very friendly and attentive, making me feel welcome during my stay. Chris, the bar man, was a highlight of my evening, providing great conversation and a relaxed atmosphere.

    The lack of a restaurant made the hotel feel somewhat quiet and limited for dining options.

    convenient location
    comfy bed
    good variety
    noisy room
    stuffy bathroom

    I enjoyed my stay at The North Hill Hotel. The friendly check-in set a positive tone right away. The room was spotlessly clean. Comfy bed ensured a good night’s rest. I found the breakfast to be excellent, with a good variety, including tasty smoked salmon on bagels. The location is convenient for exploring the town, just a short walk to shops and attractions. noise from the street was an issue. I heard traffic throughout the night, which disrupted my sleep. The bathroom’s windows barely opened, making it feel stuffy at times. Staff were generally polite, but during busy breakfast hours, service was slow. Despite these minor inconveniences, I would still come back for the overall experience.

    Lovely atmosphere and great location

    I had a wonderful stay in a Double Room. The breakfast was made to order with locally sourced ingredients, making it a delightful start to the day. The staff were genuinely friendly and went the extra mile to ensure a pleasant experience. I did find the room size a bit cramped for an extended stay.

    great wine selection

    my stay at the north hill was very enjoyable. the bed was incredibly comfortable with quality bedding, and the towels in the bathroom were big and fluffy. the bar was a nice area to relax, and the wine selection was impressive. julie was amazing, always checking in to make sure I felt welcomed. it's just a short walk from the main train station, too!

    great location but missing a few amenities

    The city view from our room was stunning, adding a lovely touch to our stay. The earplugs provided were a thoughtful inclusion, enhancing our comfort during the night.

    The absence of a gym was a letdown.
