The hotel is in a convenient central location, within walking distance to main attractions and the train station. The rooms are spacious but outdated, with some cleanliness issues, yet they offer basic amenities like tea/coffee and bottled water. The service was a mix of clueless interactions and helpful assistance, including bike storage options. The dining options were satisfactory, with a good value for a full fry-up. However, the smell of cooking pervaded the premises, affecting the overall experience.

The hotel is in a superb location right in the town, offering free parking, and the rooms, although slightly small, are excellent and very clean with a triple bed option which is great for group travelers. The staff is very helpful, and the breakfast is delicious. One quirky feature was a random extra single bed in the room that sparked some light-hearted fun.

The hotel was a bit challenging with the air circulation in the room due to the heat, and the location was convenient but not ideal for those looking to avoid stairs. However, the hotel offered a pleasant stay with nice bars, cleanliness, friendly staff, and a top-notch breakfast experience.
