My stay at the Captain's Club Hotel was simply fabulous. The service was outstanding, making every moment delightful, and the views over the river were breathtaking. The spa offered a relaxing atmosphere, although I found the mobile phone use in there a bit off-putting. The breakfast had a fantastic variety, and I loved the attention to detail in the dining experience, but I noticed the outside lights were quite bright at night. Overall, it was a memorable visit with minor room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was incredibly relaxing, filled with wonderful river views and attentive service. The spa treatments were exceptional and left me feeling pampered. The spacious room was a delight, but I had a bit of trouble with the lighting while reading in bed. Breakfast offered a great variety, but I would have loved more options for dinner. Overall, it was a delightful experience with minor room for improvement in dining variety.

My recent stay at the Captain's Club was absolutely delightful! The hotel is a hidden gem with its stunning river views and exceptional staff who go above and beyond. I adored the food, which was consistently fantastic, and breakfast on the terrace was a lovely bonus. While everything was mostly perfect, the parking situation could be a bit tricky for those unfamiliar with the area, but overall, it's a wonderful experience worth every penny.

I had a lovely afternoon tea with my mum for her birthday, enjoying the great ambiance and delicious food. However, I was disappointed with my parking experience as I received a fine despite paying for my time. The hotel itself is fantastic with luxurious amenities, and I truly appreciated the wonderful views over the river. The combination of great dining options and a beautiful spa environment makes this a must-visit, although the parking management does need improvement.
