Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a lovely location near the station and within walking distance of shops and restaurants. The rooms were spacious and modern, with a good quality fan provided. The service was excellent in all areas, and the dining experience was enjoyable, featuring tasty sandwiches. However, the price for the stay was a bit on the higher side, impacting the overall value for money.
The hotel is a gem in terms of location for anyone who loves being right in the heart of the action. The rooms offer a comfortable stay with modern bathrooms and quality fans, but the additional fee for an extra bed might be off-putting for some. The service excels in all areas, making guests feel truly welcomed and cared for. The hotel's position at a road intersection can be both a blessing and a curse, depending on how you navigate your way around. The dining experience, while inclusive and serving some tasty treats like Tuscan cheese, lacks variety that could elevate the overall meal experience. Despite some minor drawbacks, the facilities are well-maintained and offer a pleasant experience overall.
The hotel is in a convenient location within walking distance of shops and restaurants. The rooms are spacious and modern, with a largish bathroom. However, the dining experience was not up to expectations with raw fish served, and the price was slightly high for the value offered.
