Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were of generous size and clean, which was great, but I did notice a few insects/bugs, which was a bit off-putting. However, being allocated a double room was a nice touch.
The hotel was a great find for my family. The rooms were nice and spacious, although lacking an iron was a bit inconvenient for us. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff ready to assist at any moment. The location was ideal, set in a quiet area yet close to the center. Dining could be improved as it felt a bit repetitive, but the facilities were impressive overall.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, offering a good night's rest despite being next to a road with constant vehicle traffic. The service provided by the staff was friendly and very helpful, making my stay more enjoyable. The location was convenient with easy access to the surroundings, though there was a slight issue with noise from the nearby road. The dining experience had a varied selection but felt a bit cramped at times. The facilities were adequate for my needs, providing a satisfactory stay.
I was thrilled with the hotel's fantastic location, being close to everything and offering a comfy stay with friendly staff. The only letdown was the limited breakfast options, but overall a great choice.
The hotel offers spotless rooms with good channel options on TV and excellent WIFI. I loved the complete black-out curtains ensuring a peaceful sleep without being woken too early by the sunrise. The staff are all very helpful and pleasant, making my stay even more enjoyable. The location is perfect for easy access to surrounding areas, shops, and restaurants. The dining experience was amazing with varied options and cooked-on-demand delicacies.
