Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had some ups and downs. The rooms needed some maintenance, and the shower was a bit of a hassle, but the attic room I moved to was surprisingly nice despite the shabby approach. The service was a mixed bag with slow drink service but excellent young staff. The location, though unattractive, ended up being perfect for our needs during the stay. The dining experience had its moments with good quality but fell below the usual standard at times.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The room was not what I expected, but the decor was charming. The lack of water pressure made bathing difficult. The service was top-notch, from breakfast to the bar food. The location was ideal for our needs, although the car park was unattractive. The dining experience started well but was disrupted by a barking dog. Overall, the stay was pleasant with some highs and lows.

The service was exceptional, with the staff being very friendly and attentive even during short-staffed times. The location was beautiful and convenient, although there were some minor issues with cleanliness in the room.
