Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was basic. Mattress stained. It was out of season but disappointed that there was no one on reception for a lot of our stay. I think we was only ones in hotel.when we was going out Saturday morning there was nobody around and we had to ring number on website to get someone to come to reception. Didn't sleep well Friday night so decided to come home Saturday instead of staying at the hotel another day. ☹️

Staff were friendly, and location is great. The dated in the rooms, fixtures (door handles and taps). Shower pressure very low. But overall for a few days it is still a good place to stay. I would happily go back in the future.

Overall, my stay at the hotel was pleasant and welcoming experience. The staff were warm and attentive, and the service offered solid value for money. That said, the balcony could have benefited from more thorough cleaning, and the absence of in-room WiFi was a notable drawback—especially since access was limited to the lobby. With a few improvements in cleanliness and connectivity, the hotel has the potential to offer an even more comfortable and enjoyable stay.
