Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were a bit less attractive and felt crowded with three beds, but they did have a beautiful chimney and a very nice bathroom. However, I was disappointed that there weren't enough USB ports in the room.
The hotel was a bit disappointing overall. The rooms were small and outdated, lacking basic amenities for the high price paid. On the positive side, the location was excellent, close to the town center. The service was friendly and helpful but not outstanding.
The hotel offers basic but comfortable rooms at a very good price. The rooms are quite small and lack enough USB ports, but they are very clean.
