The friendly staff made my experience even better, but the dining options could use some improvement.

The hotel offers a convenient location, close to the central area, with the perk of dining in the same facility. The rooms were comfortable, though there was a minor cleanliness issue with a bag tag from a previous guest. The staff was friendly and professional, going above and beyond to assist guests. The dining experience provided excellent food options, but limited tv channels and an outdated feel slightly affected the overall experience.

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel! The rooms are spacious and well-equipped with nice amenities and incredibly cozy beds. While it was a bit warm when we arrived due to the sun streaming in, the overall room experience was fantastic. The service was friendly and helpful, especially at the restaurant downstairs where my friend interacted with the receptionist. The buffet breakfast was a delightful start to the day. The location was perfect, within walking distance of the city center, and the drinks voucher was a nice touch, although the beer selection could be improved. The dining experience was average, with just okay food noted for lacking flavor. Overall, a great stay with lovely facilities.

The dining options were just okay, with food that lacked taste and freshness. The bar food and the more expensive restaurant had limited offerings, and additional charges for coffee seemed unnecessary at this level of accommodation.

The hotel was really large, great, clean, had a balcony, and a very well-stocked mini bar. The room had a comfortable bed, but it could do with a dusting. The service couldn't have been more helpful, with staff who were always friendly and went out of their way to ensure a great experience. The location was perfect for a family holiday, within walking distance to town with a great selection at breakfast. The dining experience was lovely with plenty of choice, although there were some areas for improvement. Overall, a good value for money stay.
