Reviews and Ratings
I stayed at the hotel for my daughter's birthday and the location couldn't have been more perfect, right in the city center. The rooms were clean and a good size, although being above a noisy wedding reception was a bit inconvenient. The service was professional and helpful. The dining experience was okay, but the price was a bit high for what was offered.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms were small, shabby, and not very clean with a very uncomfortable mattress, the location was great for exploring the town. The service was friendly and accommodating, but the dining options were below average. The facilities were average overall.
The hotel was located straight across from a night club, which played loud music until late at night and then had noisy bin collection in the early morning. The rooms were described as tired and dated. The service was highlighted for being off-hand but making an effort to provide extra amenities. The location was praised for being in a lively area with easy access to shops and bars. The dining experience received mixed feedback with cremated sausages but good service recovery. Overall, the hotel had its ups and downs, with noise being a significant drawback.
