Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean with small ensuites and balconies facing the road. While the rooms and bathrooms were a bit small, the fantastic staff and local activities made up for it. The only downside was the noise from the main road.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, although the noise from the main road was a bit distracting. The staff was very friendly and went out of their way to address any concerns I had. The location was central, making it easy to explore the main points of interest, but getting taxis was a bit inconvenient. The dining options were satisfactory, especially the freshly made omelets. The facilities were well-maintained.
The hotel offers clean and functional rooms, although the new building may feel a bit unfinished. The staff is incredibly helpful and responsive, making for a great start to the day. The location is convenient, being in walking distance of major points of interest with a lovely view of the Holy Trinity Cathedral. The dining options are pleasant, especially the freshly made omelets. Overall, the facilities provided are basic but nice.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, most of which have balconies with views over the city, are clean and functional but very basic, although being on the main road can make it a bit noisy at times. The service was incredibly helpful and accommodating, especially in quickly addressing our concerns. While the location is in walking distance of the main points of interest, it's not bad but could be more pleasant. The dining experience was good with a variety of cakes, biscuits, toast, and local fruit. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
