Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located in the center of the town, making it convenient for exploring bars and enjoying the amenities nearby. The rooms, despite needing attention to broken bathroom fixtures, were well maintained. The service, including room service and laundry, was above average. The central location, close to the bus and train station, is a major plus for accessibility. Although the dining experience with special dishes had its highlights, there is room for improvement. Overall, the hotel provides good value for the money with decent facilities.
