This hotel is clean and conveniently located. But I want to give a highest rank to the manager and the staff for going an extra mile making our stay from 3/17/26 to 3/19/26 very quiet and comfortable.

Cobbled together gluten-free vegetarian breakfast (although advised in advance), but organised eventually. The waiter was nonetheless very helpful. Could've done without the constant sport on the huge tv. The pub attached is very noisy. Suitable more for a younger clientele.

Very clean and good facilities (loved the free pool/table tennis!) but extremely loud in the rooms - techno/bass music thumping til early morning, and the XL room we were in was only separated from next door by adjoining doors meaning every word could be clearly heard, it felt like we had a family of strangers in the room with us!
