Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a few drawbacks, like some noise from the kitchen downstairs and the staircase, making it a bit challenging to sleep. However, there was an issue with the room ventilation affecting oxygen levels, leading to a partner waking up with a headache. On the bright side, it was close to the center and offered good value for the money, with some mishaps like tea spillage by the staff.
The hotel is in a nice location, although some areas could benefit from modernization. The rooms are lovely but could use a touch of modernity. The breakfast was good, and the location was convenient, though just okay.
The hotel offers good value overall, with clean and tidy rooms that might feel a bit warm due to the lack of air conditioning. The dining room and function bar can be a bit noisy at times, especially near the kitchen and staircase areas, but the cleanliness is top-notch.
