“While some aspects need attention, such as dated décor and potential maintenance issues, the staff strives to assist guests. A helpful reception offered a solution when hot water was unavailable, and the Wi-Fi signal is reliable. The hotel could offer better value for money, but the team's dedication makes it a reasonable option for some.”
