My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although a bit small, had everything I needed, but they were unfortunately by the front door where people smoked and chatted right outside my window at all hours. The staff was not friendly and the breakfast was cold. The shower only had cold water, making my stay quite uncomfortable and not worth the money.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The recently refurbished room was spotlessly clean and fresh, but felt plain and dated for a superior class. The service was impeccable, with staff going out of their way to accommodate requests. The location was convenient for some attractions but lacked nearby amenities. The dining options were limited for vegetarians. Facilities were decent overall.

The hotel had comfortable rooms with a desk and chair, tea and coffee facilities, and good en suite facilities. However, the room felt dark and old, and it was a bit too hot when I first arrived despite the window being open. The receptionist didn't inquire about our stay during check-out, showing a lack of care for any issues we might have had.
