Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praise the hotel's friendly and helpful staff, as well as its convenient central location close to transport and attractions. However, many reviews mention that the hotel and its rooms are old and in need of renovation, with cleanliness issues such as worn furniture, stained carpets, and dated bathrooms being common complaints. Breakfast receives mixed feedback, with some finding it adequate and others considering it monotonous or insufficient. Room sizes are generally acceptable, but some bathrooms are described as cramped. Overall, the positive service and location stand out, but the hotel would benefit from updates and improved cleanliness.
