Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a noisy atmosphere due to the nearby bar and rowdy locals at night and during breakfast. However, the rooms offer comfortable beds and a fantastic breakfast service.
The hotel is in a central location perfect for exploring the city, but could use some updates. The rooms were a bit noisy being above the bar, yet had a nice view of classic buildings. The service was friendly but could be more efficient. The dining options were hit and miss. Overall, a decent stay but some areas need improvement.
The hotel's rooms were not as shown online, which was disappointing, but the bar had a quirky charm. Service was mixed with friendly staff but some issues with payment. The location was busy but convenient, especially for trips to nearby attractions. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some overwhelmed staff and limited options. Overall, a mixed experience.
