I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, the condition of the rooms left much to be desired. The location was convenient for access to the area, but the noise from the band made it hard to relax or sleep. Overall, it’s not the worst choice, but there are definitely areas that need improvement.

Our stay at the hotel was quite disappointing overall. While the cleanliness was commendable, the comfort levels were severely affected by noise from the bar and poorly designed rooms. The breakfast was lovely, and the staff were friendly and willing to help, but the constant disruptions from live music made it hard to enjoy our stay fully.

I had a decent stay at the hotel. It’s affordable and the location is quite handy, right in the center of everything. The room was basic but clean, which I appreciated. However, some aspects felt outdated and the noise levels were not great at night, which detracted from the overall experience.

I was really looking forward to my stay, but it was a mixed experience. The rooms were sadly quite cramped and not in the best condition, and I had a difficult night with noise. On the brighter side, the staff were genuinely kind and accommodating, and I enjoyed the low prices for drinks. Overall, I was disappointed with the stay and might not return.

The room was tiny and quite run down, more fitting for contractors than for couples. It got cold at night, and I had a constant scratching noise that kept me awake.

The hotel experience was quite disappointing overall. While the staff was great and the breakfast was outstanding, the rooms were cramped, dirty, and noisy. The plumbing issues and lack of cleanliness made for an unpleasant stay. It’s a shame because I've stayed here before and expected better for the price.
