Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were incredibly spacious with possibly the biggest bed I've ever seen, offering an outstanding view. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating, making us feel at ease. However, the dining experience was overpriced and not the best value for money. The location was brilliant for exploring the city, but not ideal for a quiet night's sleep.
The hotel had some drawbacks like small and poorly maintained rooms, but the service was exceptional. The location was convenient for exploring the city. Dining options were average, and facilities were satisfactory overall.
Despite some drawbacks like cold showers and limited dining options, the hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms with beautiful views and 24hr church bells. The service is welcoming and helpful, with friendly facilities available. The location is excellent for easy access to the city center, but the forced swim cap purchase and pool restrictions could be off-putting. Dining options were satisfactory, and the facilities are decent overall.
I felt like I was living in a tiny box as the room was way too small, but at least it was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. It was nice and spacious, but the bathroom was way too small. The service was excellent, helpful, and efficient. The location was brilliant, only a 5-minute walk to the city center. The dining experience was mediocre but bearable, and the facilities were satisfactory.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms were spacious and offered good storage for clothing, the cleaning service was subpar as towels and bedding were not changed, and bins were left untouched. The room equipment, however, was up to standard and the cleanliness was precise. The hotel is reasonably priced, but extra charges were unclear from the beginning, which was a letdown for an otherwise decent deal.
My stay at the hotel was wonderful! The rooms were spotless and cozy, and I appreciated the cork screw on the ground. However, I felt the room was a bit stuffy and could have used air conditioning. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making my experience even more enjoyable. The location was perfect, just a short stroll to the city center. The dining experience was rich with various breakfast options. I was impressed with the facilities, especially the attentive service in the restaurant and bar.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The top-floor room offered a great view of the city and sunsets, but it was basic with limited amenities. The staff went out of their way to assist, especially the head lady at reception, which was a highlight. However, the room had some issues like a malfunctioning TV and curtains coming down, making me hesitant about a return visit.
The hotel is conveniently located close to the city center, perfect for sightseeing and shopping. The rooms are spacious and comfortable for families, but the cleanliness of the bathroom could be improved. Dining offers various choices but the onsite parking could be better.
The hotel had spacious and very clean rooms, but lacked proper ventilation. The staff was lovely and accommodating, yet the price for a night was on the higher side. The location was convenient for accessing the city center but had some drawbacks like swimming lessons impacting pool use and a requirement to purchase a swim cap. The dining experience was good but somewhat overpriced, especially given the rate. Overall, a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel's location is convenient, but I wouldn't stay again due to car parking issues. The service was friendly and helpful. The dining experience had a good choice but was only average. The rooms had a strong smell of Lynk and a shower curtain issue, though the shower pressure was good.
