I found the reception staff friendly and helpful. They assisted with taxi arrangements. the location worked well since many tours provide pickup and drop-off services at this hotel. i thought the breakfast was nice, especially with its good price and the gluten-free options.
The room i had felt quite small. There was only limited space on the sides and end of the bed, made moving around a bit challenging.
