Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were great in terms of comfort and a fantastic bath but could use a modern touch. The location was convenient for attractions but had some noise issues, and the dining experience was a hit or miss. Service varied from incredibly rude to very accommodating.
The hotel was a bit disappointing with cleanliness issues in the rooms, but the staff were friendly and helpful. The location was convenient, although noisy due to nearby trams. The dining options were limited, but the hotel had a large car park available at a good price.
