Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were clean and well cared for, although they had a strong smell of smoke. The location was excellent, convenient to local shops, public transport, and restaurants, making it a great choice for a night out. The dining options were decent, offering a variety of dishes, but lacking in sweet choices. The service was top-notch, with staff always helpful and accommodating, even if they were adjusting to a new computer system.
The hotel room was smaller than expected and felt a bit stuffy, but it was clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and enthusiastic, providing good service overall. The location was convenient with access to local shops and public transport, making it a decent choice. The dining experience offered a range of foods and was quite enjoyable. However, the hotel was a bit far from major attractions.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean, which was great, but they were quite old-fashioned and in poor condition. The bathroom had an old, uncomfortable standard, with old furnishings and a musty smell. The bathroom also had issues like an old toilet and a faulty flush system.
