Delicious Bar Experience

“I had a fantastic time enjoying the food at the hotel bar. The meals were not only generous but also incredibly tasty. I especially loved the Irish and Baileys coffees we had one night; they were hands down the best I've ever tasted! The overall atmosphere in the bar was good.” view full review

Cozy and Spacious Room

“Our room was a delight! It featured a very large and extremely comfortable double bed along with a single bed. Plus, the tea-making facilities were a nice touch, especially with proper mugs instead of those tiny hotel cups. It truly made our stay feel more like home.” view full review

Convenient Bathroom Setup

“The bathroom was functional and had everything we needed, though I noticed the radiator was quite hot and close to the toilet. Still, the overall arrangement was convenient, and it was kept clean during our stay, which I really appreciated.” view full review

Excellent Connectivity and Comfort

“The hotel's bar and restaurant provided a wonderful experience with their attentive service, making it a great place to wind down after a day of sightseeing. We also appreciated the internet connectivity in the common areas, which allowed us to stay connected while exploring.” view full review
