The hotel is superbly located within walking distance of downtown, offering easy access to various restaurants and pubs. The rooms are comfortable and equipped with a cozy bed, but the service could be more attentive. While the price is reasonable, the dining experience falls short in diversity. The on-site facilities are convenient, though some aspects could be improved for better value.
