Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praise the hotel's excellent and central location, making it convenient for exploring the city and accessing public transport. Many found the accommodation to be clean and offering good value for the price, with some appreciating the comfortable rooms and amenities. However, there are frequent complaints about the quality of service, with reports of rude or absent staff, poor reception experiences, and issues with luggage storage. Breakfast is often described as basic or disappointing, lacking variety and quality. Overall, while the location and value are highlights, improvements in service and breakfast are needed.
