My wife and I stayed at Ricks during the festival. The staff were very friendly when we checked in. I note some comments about the entrance beng a restaurant/bar - so what ! - if you want a grand reception area then go to the larger and more expensive hotels in the city centre like Sheraton or Balmoral. The rooms... more

Just spent 2 nights in Ricks and really enjoyed our staff. Staff were very friendly. Room was lovely. Strange to walk through a bar to go to the rooms though. Breakfast was great too and served until 12. Slightly noisy early in the morning as near to a recyling bottle bin!! nevertheless a very enjoyable stay with great access to... more

I stayed at Rick’s Boutique Hotel for a 2 night stay on Friday 27th and Saturday 28th November 2009. I was unimpressed. I feel I should give you a little back story here – I was a fan of Rick’s for a number of years and several times a year I would book a 2 night stay either for shopping... more

Having stayed at Tigerlilly, the supposed 'sister' of Ricks I felt comfortable booking Ricks for a 2 night stay, a surprise for my other half who had put up with me moaning for months when I was made redundant in March. I booked Ricks on the back of staying at Tigerlilly and didn't think twice....WHAT A MISTAKE I MADE! Arriving... more

This hotel has great potential but unfortunately was let down by the poor finish and location of the rooms. On the whole the service was good- the breakfasts are to die for (especially the waffles!) and the atmosphere relaxed and friendly. The downside was that the room was a bit tardy. One of the draw fronts within the wardrobe came... more

We liked it!

We arrived before check in time an although our room was not ready, our luggage was stored readily. It's not a hotel as such as reception is effectively the front desk for the bar and the restaurant also. It was good to see that even before lunchtime the place was fairly busy with people enjoying tea or coffee or brunch.... more

Modern, clean, with a great restaurant & bar on the main floor, it was way better that what we were able to find in London. The staff is charming, everything was just perfect ;-)) more
