The staff was incredibly welcoming and professional, although a bit distracted during check-in. The location was superb for exploring the town center, and the dining experience was varied and delicious. Overall, a lovely stay with minor room size and temperature issues.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, catering to all age groups and ideal for an overnight stop while traveling. However, extra charges for parking were a downside that overshadowed the super breakfast. The rooms were the smallest I have ever used, overheated due to unusual hot weather and the bathroom heating that couldn't be adjusted, mainly in the 80s wing.

Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were a bit hot and stuffy, feeling like a blast from the past with an 80s decor, albeit warm at night. On the upside, the staff provided fantastic service, going out of their way to accommodate us, including the excellent night porter. The location was ideal, right in the bustling town center yet surprisingly quiet at night. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some pleasant surprises mixed with disappointments.

The hotel is situated right in the bustling center of town, making it convenient for exploring the area, but be prepared for some noise from surrounding bars and clubs. The rooms are cozy but can get quite loud at night due to street noise, especially if the window is open. The service is friendly and helpful, although the lack of a formal uniform may not suit everyone.

The hotel rooms were perfect with lovely extras, but very dated and I could hear noise from the next room which was unexpected for an older building. The service was helpful and professional, and the central location was great for exploring the town. The dining experience was very good with plenty of choices. However, the room service was a bit slow. Overall, a good stay with some minor inconveniences.
