In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book

  • Excellent staff service — The staff earn high marks from guests, who describe them as friendly, professional, and notably helpful during check-in, check-out, and throughout their stay.
  • Spacious, well-equipped rooms — Rooms are described as large, clean, and fitted with modern touches like balconies, automatic curtains, and comfortable beds, with many offering city views.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — The hotel enforces a strict no-pets policy, which may be a consideration for travellers wanting to bring their furry companions.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is available only between 15:00 and 23:59, so guests arriving late at night or needing an earlier check-in may need to plan accordingly.
  • Casino on site — The presence of a casino might not appeal to all guests, especially those seeking a purely tranquil getaway or travelling with children.
  • Potential for noise from central location — While the location is convenient, being on a main road and close to attractions could mean some street noise, though the hotel does offer soundproofed rooms.
