Guest Ratings & Reviews

Real Guest Experiences & Ratings

Katherine

United Kingdom, December 2023

6.6/10

The hotel had both positives and negatives. The rooms were of adequate size, but some areas seemed neglected, like the garden resembling a builders' yard. The service was a mixed bag with kind gestures but also a slight issue of entering the room unannounced. The location was convenient for reaching the city center, however, with some good breakfast cafes nearby. The dining options were minimal and overpriced for what was offered.

The hotel is conveniently located near the city center and major attractions, making it easy to explore the area on foot. The rooms, although small and overlooking a construction area, were clean and cozy, offering a comfortable stay. The service, however, was impacted by ongoing improvements, causing inconvenience to guests. The dining experience was lackluster with overpriced options, but the property's facilities were adequate for a short stay.
