I had a mixed experience during my stay at The Townhouse. While the decor and atmosphere were appealing, and the central location was a major plus, several issues impacted my overall enjoyment. The service from bar staff needed improvement, and the noise from other guests made it hard to relax.

Rooms

My room was charming but smaller than expected, and the view was less than ideal, overlooking a car park. The bed was comfortable, but it lacked the amenities typically found in a higher-end hotel, especially considering the price.

My stay at The Townhouse had a charming atmosphere, and the decor was lovely, but some aspects left room for improvement. The check-in experience was less than welcoming, and I felt the staff missed opportunities to enhance my stay, especially with service during check-in and cleanliness in the room. Despite these issues, the comfortable bed and quality breakfast made for a pleasant, if not perfect, experience.
