Bernard

United Kingdom, September 2023

6.8/10

The hotel offers a cozy stay with daily housekeeping and a comfortable bed for relaxation. The hot shower is proper, but there are limited seating options in the room. The service may come off as traditional and lacks a polished touch. The location is conveniently close to the city center and within a relaxing residential area. The dining experience includes quality ingredients and tasty smoothies. The facilities are sufficient but may not cater to all preferences.

8.0/10

My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-good experiences. The location was excellent, close to the city center without being too busy, making it a convenient spot. The rooms were comfortable and had big opening windows, which I loved. However, the service was a bit set in their ways and not very polished. The dining experience, on the other hand, was fantastic with delicious Mediterranean dishes. Overall, a decent value for money stay.
