Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a nice location with some drawbacks. The rooms, though decently priced, had issues like light seeping through the door and worn carpets. I woke up to cigarette smoke smells, which was unpleasant, and noise from the bar downstairs was noticeable. The room lacked essentials like soap holders and shelves in the shower. However, the hotel's location is charming and convenient for exploring the surrounding areas.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were really comfortable and new, with a lovely new bathroom, very friendly and helpful staff, good service including tea/coffee and bottled water, and a super comfy bed. It was clean, although the towel rail in the bathroom was broken, which was a bit inconvenient.
