Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has seen better days with some maintenance issues, but the service from the staff is exceptional. The location is convenient for accessing the city center, despite ongoing refurbishments.
The hotel's location is excellent, just an 8-minute walk to the center with plenty of restaurants and bars. However, the room was small for two people, next to a noisy boiler house, and had a strong smell of cigarettes and weed. The car park is open and unsecured, which is a downside.
The hotel is conveniently near the city center, but issues like noisy mornings and limited dining options affected my stay. The rooms had a mix of musty corridors and renovated bathrooms, while the location offered both convenience and disturbance. Dining left much to be desired, but the facilities were satisfactory despite some flaws.
