Check the pool findings before booking
A generally well-regarded hotel with spacious rooms, strong views, friendly service and a convenient location. The main tradeoffs are dated or unevenly maintained areas, bathtub showers, mixed noise, weak connectivity evidence, and disappointing pool and gym limitations.

Will you actually sleep here?

Sleep is generally comfortable, but noise insulation is the weak spot.
Check before bookingSome guests report traffic noise and weak insulation between rooms.
Sleep is generally comfortable, but noise insulation is the weak spot. Guests praise the beds and sometimes find the hotel surprisingly quiet, while others report traffic or sound from neighbouring rooms and mixed pillow comfort. Light sleepers should request a quiet room.
Guests reporting this gave the whole stay 8.49/10 on average.
Guests reporting this gave the whole stay 7.75/10 on average.
and surprisingly quiet at night for a very central location
spacious rooms and very comfortable bed and pillows
Some noise coming from other bedrooms ( we could even hear showers from the room above )
Traffic noise
Sleep conditions are generally good but not reliably quiet. Comfortable beds and several quiet-stay reports support the score, while documented traffic, inter-room, upper-floor, and air-conditioning noise prevent a higher rating. Retrieved reviews are relevance-selected examples, not a representative sample; corpus counts are used only as context.
Evidence confidence: moderate. This is a model assessment, not a statistical probability. Limited or inconsistent sources reduce confidence.
What are the rooms actually like?
127 reviews about this · 20 photos available · analyzed Oct 2026.
The rooms are spacious and comfortable, though bathrooms and some details need attention. Guests like the views, room size, and beds, but some report poorly working showers and uncomfortable pillows. It suits travellers who value space more than polished, modern finishes.

Cleanliness is usually good, but the hotel does not consistently feel well maintained.
Check before bookingRecent reviews document outdated rooms, incomplete cleaning, a sewage smell, and a used toothbrush cup.
Cleanliness is usually good, but the hotel does not consistently feel well maintained. Guests often describe clean rooms, while others report dated furnishings, incomplete cleaning, smells, and plumbing problems. Choose it if cleanliness matters more than a thoroughly modern room.
Guests reporting this gave the whole stay 7.65/10 on average.
Those who complained rated the whole stay 6/10 on average.
The whole hotel was beyond spotlessly clean
Not clean
the main part of hotel felt very dated
6.0/10. Overall condition is mixed: cleanliness is generally positively described, but recent reviews and corpus statistics document a meaningful maintenance and datedness burden, including defective showers, incomplete cleaning, repair residue, and an isolated severe sewage-smell complaint. Evidence does not establish a deterioration trend because the supplied material is relevance-selected and not a time-series sample.
Evidence confidence: moderate. This is a model assessment, not a statistical probability. Limited or inconsistent sources reduce confidence.
Do the staff fix things when they go wrong?
188 reviews about this · 1 photos available · analyzed Oct 2026.
Guests rate this 9.2 (city average 8.7); our evidence assessment is 7.0. These use different methods and samples; the detail below explains our assessment.
Staff are usually friendly and professional, but problem-solving and check-in can be uneven. Many guests praise the team and efficient service, while some report delayed or rude check-ins and less helpful interactions. It is a better fit if warm service matters, but allow patience when something goes wrong.

The professionalism and friendliness of the staff made this a great experience
and efficient - it was the fastest check-in and check-out I’ve ever experienced
The staff from night schedule are not very nice
Sunday check in was delayed which would be ok if the woman was not rude about it
Is breakfast worth booking?

Breakfast is appealing but not an automatic bargain.
Check before bookingSupplied reviews include complaints about high pricing, cold coffee, insufficient replenishment, crowding, and limited choice.
Breakfast is appealing but not an automatic bargain. Guests praise the variety and freshness, while others mention high pricing, cold coffee, crowding, and slow replenishment. Book it if you enjoy a substantial buffet and the rate is reasonable; otherwise compare local options.



Breakfast was great with lots of options s and no rushing
Hotel Bar was great
The breakfast it’s very simple they don’t even have a menu to ask somehtibg beside the buffet

Is the pool as good as the photos?
44 reviews about this · 3 photos available · analyzed Oct 2026.
Guests rate this 8.8 (city average 8.2); our evidence assessment is 4.0. These use different methods and samples; the detail below explains our assessment.
The pool is the most disappointing facility and does not fully live up to the photos.
Check before bookingMultiple supplied reviews describe the pool as small or shallow.
The pool is the most disappointing facility and does not fully live up to the photos. The spa setting and loungers can be relaxing, but guests describe a small, shallow basement pool with cold water, crowding, cleanliness concerns, and restricted hours. Treat it as a minor bonus, not a main reason to book.



The spa and pool facilities were also great and very enjoyable
the swimming pool was not heated as the water was very cold
The pool exists and is paired with spa facilities, but the overall guest experience is limited by documented small size, shallow depth, crowding, cleanliness complaints, cold water, and access restrictions. The score is reduced despite positive descriptions and attractive photographs because marketing images cannot establish operating quality or typical capacity.
Evidence confidence: higher. This is a model assessment, not a statistical probability. Limited or inconsistent sources reduce confidence.
How well placed is it, really?
39 reviews about this · analyzed Oct 2026. Limited evidence: treat this assessment as provisional. Confidence is low because the available sources are limited or inconsistent.
The location is convenient enough, especially by taxi, but it is not central for everyone. Guests say the centre is reachable on foot, while others find the uphill walk or distance inconvenient and prefer taxis or public transport. It works well for visitors comfortable with occasional rides.
The city centre is easily accessible on foot
with very easy access by a quick taxi if needed
had to walk uphill to get back hotel felt like it needed modernising
Its location is a bit far away from the city centre so we had to take taxi’s a lot
Can you work or take calls from the room?
7 reviews about this · analyzed Oct 2026.
Wi-Fi is too unreliable for work that cannot tolerate interruptions.
Check before bookingMultiple supplied reviews report very slow, unreliable, or barely usable Wi-Fi.
Wi-Fi is too unreliable for work that cannot tolerate interruptions. Some guests report fast internet, but others describe very slow service or frequent dropouts, with no evidence confirming dependable video calls. Remote workers should have a backup connection.
internet is fast
WiFi is VERY slow and sometimes quits on us
Score 4.5/10. The hotel advertises internet access and some supplied reviews praise fast internet, but the directly relevant negative receipts document poor reliability and weak usability. The evidence does not establish measured speeds or consistent video-call performance.
Evidence confidence: moderate. This is a model assessment, not a statistical probability. Limited or inconsistent sources reduce confidence.
Is the desk usable for a working day?
7 reviews about this · 8 photos available · analyzed Oct 2026.
The room can support light work, but it is not a dependable full-day office.
Check before bookingThe desk appears compact, and no reliable measurements are supplied.
The room can support light work, but it is not a dependable full-day office. A desk beside a window offers useful natural light, though the workspace appears compact, the chair is not confirmed ergonomic, and nearby outlets are uncertain. It is fine for emails and short sessions, not demanding remote work.






internet is fast
WiFi is VERY slow and sometimes quits on us
A dedicated, apparently window-adjacent work surface is documented, and one supplied review calls the room practical for work. The workspace appears compact; ergonomic seating, desk dimensions, monitor suitability, and desk-adjacent power are not established. The overall score is therefore good but not high.
Evidence confidence: moderate. This is a model assessment, not a statistical probability. Limited or inconsistent sources reduce confidence.
Is there anywhere to train?

There is a usable gym, but it is modest rather than a serious training facility.
Check before bookingGuest feedback repeatedly describes the gym as small, with some complaints about suitability and equipment quality.
There is a usable gym, but it is modest rather than a serious training facility. Guests mention cardio equipment and sufficient options, while others find the space small and the equipment below expectations for a five-star hotel. It suits basic workouts, not extensive strength training.

Pool / Sauna /Steam bath & GYM
2.)Fitness equipment could be improved for a 5* hotel
A usable but limited gym: it exists, the photograph shows two treadmills and a stationary bike, and some guests say it has enough for basic training. The score is held down by several supplied descriptions of a small or inadequate facility and a recent complaint that it was not appropriate relative to the rest of the hotel offering. The retrieved reviews are selected examples rather than a representative sample.
Evidence confidence: higher. This is a model assessment, not a statistical probability. Limited or inconsistent sources reduce confidence.
Is it worth the money?
18 reviews about this · analyzed Oct 2026.
Guests rate this 8.8 (city average 8.3); our evidence assessment is 7.0. These use different methods and samples; the detail below explains our assessment.
Value is reasonable when the rate is competitive, but some guests find the hotel expensive for what it offers. Strong service and comfortable rooms support the price, while dated areas, the weak pool, and occasional maintenance issues can make it feel less worthwhile. Compare rates carefully if you expect polished five-star facilities.
amazing value for money - with perfect customer service
A little on the expensive side with some of the other hotels
