The hotel offers spacious, bright, and modern rooms that are very appealing but could get quite warm due to limited window opening. The service was pleasant overall, with some friendly and helpful staff despite disappointing value for the money. The location was perfect for easy access to the city center attractions but a bit of a walk to the city center. The dining experience was mixed, with some chaotic moments but reasonable quality. Overall, a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.

I couldn't be happier with my stay at this hotel. The rooms are spacious and come with a tiny kitchen equipped with a microwave, fridge, and dishwasher. The en-suite bathroom with a big shower and good storage space was a huge plus. However, the room wasn't as big as expected for the beds advertised, and the sofa bed felt a bit cramped for two people. The value for money is fantastic!

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were nice with a 'suite' effect, featuring an open-plan feel with a sitting area and a small kitchenette. The shower was convenient, and I later upgraded to a very spacious room with a lovely sitting area. However, the hotel only provides showers in the room, which was not ideal. Overall, great room experience.

The hotel's rooms may not have been as clean as expected, with surface cleanliness being the impression despite receiving two bottles of water daily. The cost of the room and the breakfast area were letdowns. However, don't be discouraged by the kitchen being located at the entrance of the room.

The hotel had rooms that were never finished well in the first place, but I had no problems during my stay. They were boiling hot, complete with an electric stove, oven, microwave, fridge, plates, glasses, and utensils. The rooms were well-equipped for self-catering. The service was very helpful even with the obvious staff shortage the hotel was experiencing, and they even managed to serve us a late nightcap. The location is indeed amazing, just a short walk from the main area but in a quiet and peaceful location. The dining experience was very tasty with lots of good food options, but the streaky bacon and sausages were poor. Overall, a decent stay with minor drawbacks.
