I had a lovely stay at this hotel with great value for money. The rooms were cozy and even had cute complementary snacks along with hot drink facilities, which was a nice touch. The service was top-notch, with the staff being incredibly friendly and accommodating. However, the location could be a bit tricky to navigate, and the decor wasn’t the most welcoming. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with just a few minor drawbacks.
