Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about West Palace from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The West Palace Hotel is frequently praised for its excellent location, a short walk from the main street, making it easy to reach attractions. Guests often highlight the convenience of having a fridge and kettle in the rooms. While some found the rooms on the smaller side, especially those with a balcony, the hotel's value for money and simple breakfast, often including tea, are appreciated. The area's lively atmosphere means some noise can be heard at night.

Excellent Stay in a Central Location

helpful staffconvenient locationquiet room
I found the staff to be very kind and helpful. The location is very convenient, even though it is in a busy area. My room remained quiet. The staff even arranged a cheaper taxi to the airport than Uber offered.
The room walls seemed to be made of fiberglass, which heated the room. The air conditioning did not seem to work.

Breakfast had everything I needed, though simple. I received a nice, big portion each morning. The hotel offers complimentary tea and coffee throughout the day. This thoughtful service was much appreciated.

Superb Hospitality and Prime Location

prime locationhelpful staffcaring staff
The hotel is wonderfully located close to everything. I really enjoyed the shopping, bars, and restaurants just outside. It was easy to get around using the bus and train with just a short walk to the main road. The staff was caring and allowed me to leave my belongings after checkout.
The noise from nearby clubs on the weekend was quite loud, so earplugs were essential for a good night's sleep.

The room featured a tea and coffee maker and effective air conditioning. Thick curtains blocked out light well, ensuring a dark room for sleeping. The hotel provided a safe environment .
Location

The location is fantastic right on the main street, yet situated on a quieter side street. This allows quick access to many attractions. It places guests within walking distance of main attractions.

the location was great. it was very close to the main attractions.. the staff was kind and helpful. the breakfast included a pre-made plate with assorted toppings, greens, tea, and coffee.
the bathroom had a slight odor that detracted from the experience. the room felt a bit small. i could barely open my suitcase fully because of limited space. the noise from nearby clubs was quite noticeable at night.
