The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms, with friendly staff, ideal for those with a car due to its location close to bus stops and free public parking. However, the dining options may be overpriced, and the noise from the busy national road can be a drawback.

The guesthouse had some positives like being near nice cafes and walkable to lovely spots but the room was basic and could use some refurbishment. The service was friendly and helpful overall but had some issues with cleanliness waking me up at odd hours. The location was quite convenient with good transport links but a bit distant from the city center. The dining experience was lacking in some aspects with unexpected extra charges. Overall, an adequate stay but with room for improvement.

My stay at the guesthouse was quite basic considering it was allegedly full. A little refurbishment wouldn't hurt. The cleanliness of the room was decent, but there were issues with the shower door and bathroom door not closing properly.

The hotel rooms were being beautifully renovated to a high standard, although there were some marks on the walls giving a slightly unkempt appearance. The staff were accommodating, ensuring our family stayed next to each other, but the room was uncomfortably cold due to a window left open.
Rooms

The rooms were beautiful, obviously being worked on to a very high standard, but had many marks on the walls which made it look slightly unkempt and was freezing with a window left open.
Service

The service was a mix of experiences but overall very helpful and courteous, except for a certain staff member who was super rude and shouted abusively when asked not to take the card away for payment.

The hotel was not far from the city centre with beautiful views from my room and very clean, making it a great location for a couple of nights, despite being a bit far to walk to the city centre.

Unfortunately, the dining experience was not great, with no availability as part of our stay and high pricing without reduction for children, although the pasta was delicious.

The hotel has potential but needs a basic renovation. The rooms are tatty and unkept, but the location is convenient with easy access to bus lines for city center travel. The dining experience is welcoming, but there are issues with lighting. Price may not match the overall quality.
