Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the location was decent, just a short walk from the main street, the rooms were on the older side and needed some improvements. The cleanliness was acceptable, and breakfast was satisfactory, with the staff being really helpful throughout my stay. Sadly, I did have a major issue with bed bugs, which overshadowed the positive aspects of my visit.
I spent three nights at this hotel, and while it had its perks like friendly staff and a decent location, there were some frustrating issues. The coffee served at breakfast was particularly bad, and the room had some maintenance problems that needed attention. It was acceptable overall, but not ideal for the price I paid.
I spent two nights in this hotel and found it to be basic but serviceable. While the room was clean, it felt a bit outdated and could definitely use some renovations. The staff was helpful, and the breakfast was decent, although the coffee left much to be desired. Overall, it's a reasonable choice if you're not looking for luxury, but be prepared for some quirks.
I had a disappointing experience at this hotel. While the staff was somewhat helpful, the overall condition of the room was subpar and it just didn’t feel clean. The location was decent, being close to the city center, but the noise from the surroundings was bothersome. I wouldn’t recommend staying here if you have other options available.
