Reviews and Ratings

Reviews from guests about their experience.

Benjamin

United Kingdom, January 2025

6.6/10

The hotel offered a decent stay, although the location description was misleading as it's far from the main shopping areas. The room I had was in the remodeled section, which was fine, but the spa facilities were not up to par, as they were not cleaned properly. The staff were friendly and helpful, making the experience a bit better than it could have been. If you're looking for a budget stay away from the hustle and bustle, this could work, but be aware of the spa cleanliness.

My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. On one hand, the breakfast was excellent and the spa facilities added a nice touch to my experience. However, the rooms seemed quite dated and could use some renovations. The location, while not in the heart of the city, allowed for easy access to excursions, but it's not the most convenient if you prefer to be near the action.

The hotel offers a quaint environment with clean and comfortable rooms that are well-maintained. It's a bit away from the central attractions, but that's manageable with a quick taxi ride. The breakfast buffet is decent, and the wellness facilities, including the spa, add a nice touch to the stay. Unfortunately, issues like noise from construction and subpar lighting in the rooms detracted from an otherwise pleasant experience.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, enjoying the clean and spacious rooms along with an excellent breakfast. The highlight for me was the helpful staff, especially Erik and Paulina, who were eager to assist. While the location requires a walk to the downtown area, it is convenient for excursion pickups. Unfortunately, a couple of minor issues affected the experience, including a misunderstanding regarding breakfast refunds and some cold room temperatures.
