Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of town, close to coffee shops and everything you could need. The rooms are well-equipped, with easy and safe parking, and a great breakfast pack available for stopovers. It's always clean, but I was a bit disappointed they filled in the bottoms of the shower, as it used to feel like a little tub before the renovation.
The hotel rooms were very clean and tidy, which was perfect, but the noise from the nightclub at the front property until early morning and the loud music in the smoking courtyard opposite were quite disturbing. The location is situated right in the heart of town, close to all amenities and shops, but room 26 is on a narrow walkway, not as serene as expected. The dining experience, although okay, fell short of expectations with just a packet of cereal after enduring a night of loud music. Overall, a mixed experience with highs and lows.
The hotel is in a convenient location right in the center of town, which is great for easy access to everything. The rooms were clean and neat, though the setup might not be ideal for two single guys sharing. The service was good, especially with efficient housekeeping. Dining included some handy options, but perhaps more variety could improve the experience. Overall, a decent option considering its location.
