My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room I stayed in had a thick layer of dust on the skirting boards near the bed, which was disappointing. Additionally, the room happened to be located above the hotel entrance and pub, leading to disturbances from late-night drinkers, particularly females. On the positive side, the price was acceptable, and the room met basic standards.

The hotel is incredibly spacious and welcoming, ideal for those who appreciate room comfort. However, it might not be the best choice for guests looking for a quiet spot due to occasional noise from the street. The central location is fantastic, complemented by a remarkable breakfast, but street noise may disturb light sleepers. The dining experience was good, although service might be slow at times.
