The hotel is located at the end of the main street, next to the river, surrounded by shops, restaurants, and bars, offering a lively atmosphere. The rooms were warm but could use a handrail by the bath/shower. Although the cleanliness could be improved, the room was spacious for two with plenty of towels.

The rooms could be cleaner, with hair in the bath and crumbs on the bed, but they were warm and spacious with enough towels for two.

Service

9.0

The service was excellent, with staff going above and beyond to make our evening special, even presenting a birthday cake we brought. However, instructions for leaving early could be clearer.

Location

8.0

The hotel's location is vibrant, next to the river at the end of the main street, with easy access to nearby shops, restaurants, and bars. However, noise from a nearby nightclub disturbed our sleep between 2.30 and 4am.

Dining

6.0

The dining experience had its flaws, with an unmanned restaurant in the morning despite pre-booking. But the selection of juice, tea, and coffee was good.

Facilities

The hotel has basic facilities; however, improvements could be made in dining organization and noise insulation from surrounding nightlife.

The hotel is situated in a central area, close to bars and pubs, making it convenient for nightlife activities. The rooms were generally clean, but there was dust on the light fitting. The staff was welcoming and helpful, except for a minor incident on check-out. The dining experience was good with a lovely bar and breakfast service. Overall, a decent stay but had some noise disturbances during late hours.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were excellent, but being at the front meant overlooking a busy road and a noisy nightclub. On the bright side, it was quiet at night. The service was top-notch, with polite and professional staff, though there was a slight hiccup with being attended to inconsistently. The location worked well for my trip, but I did encounter some challenges with the hotel management. The dining was mostly enjoyable, although I found some dishes to be overcooked. The overall value for money was decent, even though the price was slightly higher than expected.
