I had a mainly enjoyable stay at the hotel, though it did have its ups and downs. The service was fantastic, thanks to attentive and friendly staff who truly made my experience special. The rooms were comfortable, but the noise levels were quite high during my visit, which was disappointing. Dining options were varied and of good quality, especially the breakfast, but some aspects could be improved to make the experience smoother. Overall, I felt the hotel provided great value for money with a charming atmosphere.
