Couple for USA Vacation
We had a great time! Perfect experience if you want a pub feel, but still a lovely room and quiet stay. They have an adorable pub dog, tasty breakfast, and lots of attention to detail. Everyone was so kind.

Location !
The Alma is conveniently located by the train station. It’s literally steps away. It’s in a great area with dining and shops in walking distance. They have a lively pub and quaint restaurant on site. The rooms are comfortable with space to stretch out after a long travel day.

A brilliant gastro pub with a really lovely hotel
We loved this pub and hotel. The staff were superb. Especially our waiter who created a new table for us to have lunch as the pub was so busy. The check in staff were super friendly. Our food was first class and the room was really comfy with loads of extras and a lovely mini bar.

The location is good, but that's about all I can praise here. First, this is not a place you want to stay if you travel with significant luggage (given the labyrinthine and narrow hallways) - but that was not the issue for me. Rather, the room environment was not comfortable as the room thermostat had no effect despite being on and claiming to register my setting changes. (And who has decided that a single heavy bed cover is good, rather than multiple layers of bedsheets?) But the main issue was that the noise was awful. It was not the people in the pub below that were the problem, but rather the constant slamming of doors somewhere below on the ground floor - slamming which went on till after 1am. Hotel staff also rather uninterested that you are there. I can not recommend this place, especially at the price charged.

Loved this quiet little stay a bit further from city center. On our last day we figured out the trains and let me suggest to utilize those on your trip! I’d never navigated public trains before and it was super simple. There’s a few restaurants and a little mart on this street. The hotel is situated inside the only bar/restaurant on the street, which was very convenient but not distributive at all.
