Reviews and Ratings
The hotel provided clean and comfortable rooms, but lacked amenities like hot water and tea/coffee facilities. Despite helpful and friendly service, there were disturbances like being placed near a boys' school team. The location was good for some attractions but far from popular tourist spots. Dining offered ample choices but was average. Overall, a budget-friendly stopover option.
