My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was perfect for our one-night stay, and I loved the architecture and style. However, there were some issues with the room being noisy from outside bars and the air ducts making it hard to sleep. The service was great from the staff at the front desk, although it seemed they were distracted at times. The dining experience was friendly and fast, although not included, and the facilities were average. Overall, a mixed experience.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were basic but tidy, offering useful information about the area. However, the proximity to a noisy courtyard and some lingering smells were a downside. The service varied from extremely helpful and friendly to indifferent in handling requests. The location had its positives with many dining options but also raised concerns about safety. The dining at the nearby cafe was friendly and fast. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance to town, making it easy to access cafes and the casino. However, the room was a bit outdated for the price paid, with some inconveniences like a low shower head and small size.

Rooms

The room decor was very dated, and the space felt smaller than expected, requiring climbing over the bath. The shower head was uncomfortably low for me at 165 cm.

The staff were welcoming, polite, and helpful overall, but there was a mix-up with the room access for my daughter despite booking for both of us. They seemed indifferent when I reported a non-working heating system.
