The hotel is conveniently located near the city center and railway station, making it easy to explore the town. Although the rooms could benefit from some updates, they were clean and spacious. The service was friendly and helpful, especially the duty manager. The dining experience varied from poor to very good, with some delightful dishes. Overall, it's a decent choice considering the value for money and the excellent location.

The hotel offers perfect-clean, spacious rooms with all the amenities you expect. However, there was some noise above from the disco until midnight, and a ceiling light would have been nice.
