Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a budget experience with front-facing rooms on the top floor, accommodating only 27 cars despite being labeled as 'superior. '
The hotel is centrally located, making it convenient for exploring the town. The rooms were a bit small but well-kept, although the view was lacking. The bustling high street could be noisy at times, but the dining experience was top-notch. Overall, a decent stay with friendly service.
I felt like I was being constantly disturbed as if someone was trying to get into my room all night. On top of that, our door wouldn't unlock, and we had to disturb the night porter at midnight to open it for us. However, the rooms themselves were a good size and clean, though chilly due to ineffective night storage heaters.
