My stay at this hotel was lovely! The rooms had all the necessities, including a dishwasher and washing machine, which was very convenient. They were clean but a bit dull, requiring the lights on all the time. Checking in was a breeze, and the staff were ready and available to assist. The service was exceptional - the staff not only provided cooking essentials but also helped arrange our day tours. They were incredibly welcoming and accommodating, truly lovely people. The location was just perfect, quiet yet close enough to get any supplies needed. However, it felt a bit off the beaten track. The facilities were top-notch, making for a comfortable stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The rooms were very spacious and clean, obviously well looked after, which was nice. However, the layout with no window but a small glass panel instead made the room quite dull and constantly needing light. On the bright side, the price was great and it was quiet, plus walking distance to everything.

I found this hotel to be functional but quite rundown, in need of refurbishment. On the bright side, it is within walking distance of all the bars and restaurants which was convenient. My room was located on the second floor, the top level, which offered a good view and was great for my family. The kitchen had everything we needed which was a bonus.

I found the hotel a bit of a walk to town, which was fine for us as a couple, but might be less convenient for older guests or those with small children.
