When I booked the hotel, I checked that the review did say that it's near town but quiet. When I checked in, the hotel staff gave me a room close to the road. I said that I would prefer somewhere away from the road because I can't sleep if it's noisy. So they were very kind and put me in a room farthest away from the road. However when night time came, there were bars nearby having really loud music. So I found it really quite noisy. I guess if you would like to be near the town centre and don't mind the noise, then this would be a nice hotel as it's just by the river. During the day, it was really quiet and peaceful. Just noisy during the night when the bars are all open.
