I was a bit disappointed with my stay. I booked a Large Double Room, but I felt the room was not as large. The bathroom seemed dated, with a design that felt very 80s. I really wanted a cooked breakfast, and the hotel only offered continental options.

the wifi connection was excellent. the location suited us.. it was about a seven minute walk into the centre. the hospitality stood out, i thought.
sadly, the room seemed dated. the bathroom also seemed dated, it only had a handheld shower on the old bath, this was unexpected for the price. the bed needed a headboard, as there were marks on the walls..

The staff displayed really good communication skills. They allowed me to keep my luggage at the hotel on the last day to visit my boyfriend at the hospital. I appreciated this gesture. The room was surprisingly large and featured a kitchen, unexpected. The room's design blended classic and modern elements seamlessly.
The back entrance was a little tricky to find on my initial arrival.

The staff members provided helpful tips and advice. Breakfast service was efficient. Daniel, Sebastian, and the Saturday check-in staff member (whose name I did not catch) offered support. I found the service level to be high.

I found the staff particularly helpful and caring. Their communication was wonderful! the staff showed pride in their appearance, which i admired. i had to see my boyfriend in hospital, and the staff was understanding, allowing me to keep my luggage at the hotel on my last day.
Sadly, the room was dated and cheap. The bathroom had a handheld shower on an old bath. This was not what i expected for the price paid.
