Reviews and Ratings
I had an excellent stay at this hotel. The rooms were perfect with 4 single beds and very clean. The shower was powerful and hot, and the room had all the amenities I needed like TV, mini fridge, fan, and an opening window. It's great value for money, close to everything I wanted, and the car park was convenient. However, being on the top floor made the room very hot, even with the provided fan.
The hotel provides rooms with individual character, featuring comfortable beds and all necessary amenities, although the size may be small for an extended stay. The location is great for accessing the city center and nightlife, but finding it can be a bit tricky due to the street layout. The dining options are satisfactory, with helpful staff and tasty breakfast, though limited. Overall, a budget-friendly option with some unique touches and convenience.
The hotel was located in a perfect spot, especially for anyone arriving from the railway station. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but there was a slight smell of cigarette smoke from the balcony used by smokers. The dining experience offered varied choices on the menu, but the quality of the food could be better.
