Reasonable stay at a central Location

attentive staff mini fridge convenient location tired decor ill-fitting curtains poor soundproofing

The staff was attentive and moved me to a quieter room upon request. A mini fridge with drinks was available. I appreciated that the location was close to shops.

The room decor seemed a bit worn. I noticed the curtains did not fit the large window well. I also could hear noises clearly from the adjacent room.

charming find, was great

friendly welcome rainfall shower comfortable bed clean room

I found the staff very warm. They gave a friendly welcome and farewell. my room included a refurbished bathroom with a rainfall shower. It felt really refreshing. the bed felt very comfortable and ensured a good night's sleep. i appreciated the room's cleanliness. Everything seemed well kept.

the curtains in my room barely fit the window, so i had to adjust them carefully. this took a little effort to ensure they were fully closed. it was a minor issue, but it did require some attention each evening.

helpful staff convenient parking quality food pleasant exploration

the staff was lovely offering useful information. i found convenient parking available near the hotel which was a relief. breakfast offered many choices including high quality food. the location proved ideal close to shops and restaurants allowing for pleasant exploration.

The room felt a bit small. A king size bed meant there wasn't any bedside cabinet space on one side. it was still manageable but slightly inconvenient.

the spacious double room had a comfortable bed. the bathroom included good amenities. it was a pleasant experience to have such a well kept space during my time there. the cleanliness was evident.
