Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had both its highs and lows. While the rooms were spacious with a nice roll-top bath, the presence of high steps into the bathroom made it somewhat challenging, especially for senior citizens like my wife and me. The cleanliness was a mixed bag, with cobwebs and dust on the lampshade. The noise level from the bar above was quite bothersome.
The hotel had nicely decorated but dark and stuffy rooms due to facing an alleyway with frosted windows. The staff were polite and friendly, catering to our needs. The location was great, with many attractions nearby to explore. The dining experience was enjoyable but limited for vegetarians. Overall, a mix of positive and negative aspects to consider.
