Nice, centrally located hotel
Nice hotel centrally located to most tourist sites (15-20 minutes walk) and close to public transport (5-10 mins walk). The room was clean and comfortable, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the breakfast buffet was good with many hot and cold options. The wifi also worked well. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

We enjoyed our stay. The breakfast is amazing, and the stuff is kind and sincere. In general rooms were clean, but carpets require deap cleaning; wallpaper need some repairs.

Easy to locate. Fair price.
The location is a bit cumbersome but not too bad. The surroundings could feel unsafe but I was walking late and there were families with kids walking around at that time. Close to the city centre and activities. The spa is OK. I got to use it and it was not the most relaxing experience, but the masseuse was cordial and friendly. Breakfast was pretty decent. The rooms are comfortable and spacious. The shower has an issue that it is open and can flood the rest of the bathroom. Facilities were clean.

Really nice Hotel
Really nice hotel, clean and tidy. Right in the centre so only a short walk. Abit noisy on the main road and couldn’t get the air con to work so was really warm of an evening but would definitely recommend and I would stay again.
