Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were very comfortable and had a shared door with the adjacent room for added peace and quiet, but the space was a bit limited. The service was helpful overall, but there were some inconsistencies in communication. The location was convenient and central, providing a nice ambience for breakfast. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with a good spread but early serving times. Overall, it was a decent stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel is situated in a lively area with many fine houses and nice cafes, providing a vibrant atmosphere. The rooms overlook the main road, which can be noisy, but the spacious old Victorian Building offers a unique charm. The morning ambiance for breakfast is perfect, although some noise from neighboring restaurants might affect sleep quality.
