The hotel offers great facilities, but the rooms are a bit spartan and lack some essential amenities like a bed table and more toiletries. On the bright side, all other facilities are excellent, and the bar is a wonderful place to socialize. The service is friendly and welcoming, but there is room for improvement in some areas. The location is ideal for exploring the city, being close to the old town and shopping areas. The dining options are varied and suitable for different tastes, though some seating arrangements could be more comfortable.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room at the back of the hotel was too small with limited facilities, but it was very clean with a comfortable bed. The service was a bit inconsistent, with helpful moments and some missed opportunities. The location was convenient, close to the city center but lively at night. The dining options were limited, but the price was reasonable. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel rooms had everything I needed but were very dusty and stinking cigarette smoking, which was a downside. The staff was extremely helpful, friendly, and polite, especially when I had problems finding their car park. The location was nice to relax for drinks and snacks, but not too close to the city center. The dining options were nice but could be better with a bigger variety and had some value for money issues.
