Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location is superb, right across the University in the bustling old town pedestrian area, making it convenient to explore the city. The rooms are undergoing remodeling but need attention to details like the electric door lock and hair cleanliness. The service is pleasant with thoughtful gestures like a welcome drink, though housekeeping may need improvement. The dining options are varied and satisfying, especially the Welsh pastry for breakfast. The hotel's facilities are decent, offering a comfortable stay overall.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel. The rooms were lovely and warm with underfloor heating, clean, very warm, and comfortable, making me feel like I was in western Europe with the old-style European furniture. The spaciousness was a major plus, but the dining experience was a bit lacking. The location was perfect for exploring the beautiful city on foot.
The hotel offers quite spacious rooms with big bathrooms and old-style European furniture that give a vibe of being in western Europe. The rooms were clean, very warm, and comfortable but lacked proper lighting and had a noticeable smell. While the hotel is well-located in the heart of the beautiful city, it does not provide typical amenities found in an average 3-star hotel.
The hotel is in a prime location in the heart of the old beautiful city, within walking distance to all the attractions. The rooms are spacious and feature old-style European furniture that evokes a Western European ambiance. The service was commendable, offering amenities like housekeeping, laundry, and a welcoming drink. However, the dining experience lacked variety despite the homemade marmalade being a highlight. The facilities are well-maintained and add to the overall comfort of the stay.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean, complete with a magnificent jacuzzi bathtub. The service was top-notch with attentive housekeeping and a welcome drink upon arrival. The location couldn't have been better, right in the center of the city across from the University. However, the dining options were quite simple, and the parking situation was not ideal, being 150 meters away on the main road.
I was impressed by the lovely and extremely clean rooms with modern decor, although some areas were dark and smelly. The hotel lacks some standard amenities you would expect from a three-star establishment. The service was efficient, and the location near great cafes and the National Theatre was a major plus.

The hotel had spacious rooms that were nice and clean, but a bit dark and smelly at times. It was a bit noisy, but lovely and warm with underfloor heating. The location was perfect, close to great cafes and restaurants, though car access was restricted. The dining options were varied, but some felt the quality was low. Overall, a comfortable stay with some drawbacks.
The hotel's rooms have old-style European furniture, making me feel like I was in Western Europe, although they were a bit noisy.
