Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were quite separated from the busy bar, but the service was excellent during the wedding breakfast. However, there were some untidy areas around the hotel due to construction. Overall, it was a decent stay with some ups and downs.
The hotel is situated directly above the bar, which makes it quite noisy until closing time. The room was right over the bar where the music was excessively loud, making it difficult for our little girl to sleep. Despite the noise issue, the service was accommodating and helpful, lessening the stress of the situation. The location halfway up the wall was special, but the food quality was disappointing with off sausages at breakfast. The dining experience was average with limited options available. Overall, a mixed experience with some drawbacks despite helpful service.
The hotel is a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms, although slightly far from the noise, were comfortable and nice for a relaxing stay. The service was excellent, with friendly and accommodating staff. However, the location had its downsides, including noise from the bar area and some tardiness in service. The dining experience had its exceptional moments but also some shortcomings. Overall, it offers a decent experience with room for improvement.
