Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests frequently appreciate the spacious rooms at The William IV, which often include amenities like a fridge, coffee and tea facilities, and even complimentary bottled water, with some also having a fan. The location offers a blend of tranquility and convenience, placing you within a 15-20 minute walk of the castle and Riverside restaurants, plus across from a nature area perfect for walks; though a few guests have noted that the immediate surroundings of the pub itself didn't always give the best first impression. Breakfast is a highlight, offering a tasty and varied selection.

full-size fridge easy access shower run-down area police notices

The room was very nicely decorated and a large size. everything you would want was in the room, a full-size fridge, hairdryer, ironing board, iron, a case stand, a safe, and aircon. the bathroom was very large, bright, fresh, and very well decorated, with a large easy access shower. It was a perfect room for anyone that requires a room for disabilities, plenty of handrails, and great axes.

Unfortunately, the pub section did nothing to give a favorable first impression. it was located in a very seedy, run-down area of the city. There were police notices all around regarding kerb crawling and drug use.

plentiful breakfast cute staff difficult temperature stained carpet

I found the breakfast options plentiful. there were many choices available each morning. the staff were very cute.

The shower could use some improvements. It was difficult to control the water temperature. i noticed that the pub needs redecorating. The carpets in the bar were quite stained.
