We enjoyed our stay here!! It was clean, felt safe, not far from bus stop to get around, friendly staff, excellent breakfast options, room was ready early, and easy baggage hold option if needed. I would definitely recommend. (As a precaution I check all beds for bedbugs and thankfully didnt find any but the pull out sofa could use a vacuuming underneath.) I appreciate the cleanliness throughout the hotel otherwise!!

Hotel was great! Room was clean, staff was helpful and so nice. Very good breakfast and good WiFi. It was in a great location in the city- walkable to anywhere! Plus, had a great Italian restaurant (Gulianos) right beside it! Would definitely stay again.

Standard hotel, ideal location for getting around the city centre, shops all close by and the tram getting back to the airport is on the doorstep. Downside, room was basic, no fridge, no room service. Breakfast was just chaos we never sat upstairs in the main dining area, we were in the bar area, nothing was on the tables, I had to keep getting up and down to get cutlery, condiments etc. Pretty basic breakfast, limited choice. One breakfast staff member in particular was grumpy, no service with a smile, and was quite rude when I asked for a spoon for the eggs, she said no we're taking this away now, there's food upstairs... Again inconvenient seeing as I had my 4 year old son sitting on his own downstairs whilst I'm having to keep going upstairs. Also the food was being taken away at 09:10, service is meant to finish at 10am...
