Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests often appreciate the hotel's convenient location, with easy access to the train station and walking distance to the city center and Quays. The rooms are frequently described as spacious and clean, some even featuring three beds, ideal for families. Breakfast is generally considered good, though some guests have pointed out that the scrambled eggs on the buffet were the only option, unaware that other egg varieties could be ordered. The hotel's facade, with its beautiful murals, also makes a positive impression.

a good stay!

triple room bar food helpful staff
The triple room was very good. bar food arrived fast and it tasted great. i found the staff helpful and polite. They were always ready to assist with a smile.
I thought the room window looked like it had not been properly cleaned. bird droppings covered it. It made looking out the window rather unpleasant.

decent stay but breakfast needs improvement

spacious room clean room salty eggs tinned fruit
the room was spacious and clean.
The breakfast was a letdown. The scrambled eggs were too salty, and the fresh fruit selection included only tinned options. This was quite disappointing
