I stayed for two nights and overall had a pleasant experience. The hotel is ideally located within walking distance of the town center, and the room was clean with a comfortable bed. However, daily room cleaning was not provided during my stay, and the shower’s shampoo and soap dispensers were empty. A few small improvements in housekeeping would make the experience much better.

The room was lovely, easy walk to town centre. The bed was comfy. Only small complaint was that the sound proofing between rooms is quite poor so if you’re susceptible to noise perhaps ask for a top floor room.
