The LodgeLens take

Check the pool findings before booking

A strong-value, airport-convenient option with spacious rooms, parking, nearby necessities and generally helpful staff. The main tradeoffs are unreliable Wi-Fi, uneven cleanliness and maintenance, mixed bed comfort, bathroom limitations and weak central-city access.

Read this one lightly. We hold 144 analyzed reviews for this property of the 468 the booking sites advertise. This is a small sample; use the findings as leads to verify with the hotel.

peaceful enough from city's bustle

Booking.com · rated 10/10 · November 2025 · Standard Double Room with Balcony
How we got to 6.0

Overall sleep conditions appear potentially good in quiet rooms, supported by multiple supplied descriptions of peaceful stays and one report of sleeping well. However, weak soundproofing, road-facing noise, daytime service noise, and mixed bed comfort create meaningful limitations. Blackout performance and pillow quality remain uncertain.

Supports the score
  • Several supplied reviews describe the property as quiet and peaceful.
  • One guest reported sleeping well and another described the mattress as excellent.
  • Curtains are visible in supplied room photographs, but blackout performance is unverified.
Pulls the score down
  • Guests report weak sound insulation, traffic-facing noise, hallway or housekeeping noise, and occasional repair noise.
  • Bed comfort evidence is mixed: some guests report a hard or noisy bed.
  • Pillow quality is insufficiently documented.

Evidence confidence: moderate. This is a model assessment, not a statistical probability. Limited or inconsistent sources reduce confidence.

6.0/10. Overall condition appears serviceable but inconsistent: rooms and common areas look orderly in supplied photographs, while reviews document meaningful cleaning and maintenance failures, including dirty floors, stained or worn linens, rusty fittings, odors, insects, and bathroom issues.

There is no reliable evidence that the hotel has a pool. No supplied facility listing, photograph or guest excerpt verifies one, so pool-focused travellers should confirm directly before booking.

How we got to 0.0

No supplied evidence establishes that a pool exists or describes its guest experience. The score is therefore a conservative evidence-availability score, not a confirmed claim that the pool is absent.

The location is convenient for everyday needs, airport access and driving, but less ideal for car-free sightseeing. Restaurants, shops, groceries and pharmacies are nearby, and ride-hailing is useful, while the hotel sits outside the centre and tour pickups may be inconvenient.

How we got to 7.8

Overall location quality is clearly good for airport access, driving, parking-oriented stays and nearby daily necessities. It is less suitable for travellers relying on public transit or seeking a central, highly walkable base. The provider's full-corpus location score is 8.7, but the supplied evidence supports a more cautious editorial score because nearby transit is not established and guests note car dependence.

Supports the score
  • Convenient everyday amenities are nearby, including restaurants, convenience stores, groceries and pharmacies.
  • Guests describe the area as quiet and convenient for airport access and driving.
  • Ride-hailing is described as available and useful for tours.
Pulls the score down
  • The location is less convenient without a car or motorcycle.
  • Public-transit availability is not established in the supplied nearby data.
  • Some guests describe the hotel as outside the centre or inconvenient for tour pickup.

Guest evidence & score details

The room appears to have a usable basic desk, but it is not a dependable work setup. There is a broad surface, chair, outlet and window, though the chair looks hard and desk comfort is unverified. The unreliable Wi-Fi is the bigger obstacle to a full working day.

6/10: A dedicated desk-like surface and chair are documented, with a nearby wall outlet visible. The score remains ordinary because desk size, electrical usability, and guest comfort are not established; the single detected workspace mention is unclassified.

There is no reliable evidence of a gym at the hotel. No gym appears in the supplied facilities or photographs, so regular exercisers should confirm availability or plan to train elsewhere.

How we got to 0.0

The supplied hotel facilities do not list a gym, and no supplied image establishes one. Gym availability is therefore assessed as absent, subject to the limitation that an omitted facility cannot be independently verified from the supplied material.

Confirm these details before booking

Reviews and photos describe other people’s stays. The terms and room assigned to your reservation matter just as much.

For your reservation

  • Total price for your dates, including taxes, service fees, breakfast and any deposit.
  • Cancellation deadline, payment timing and whether the rate is refundable.
  • Current opening hours, closures or extra charges for the facilities you need.

Questions raised by this hotel’s evidence

  • Which room locations are quietest, and can a quiet room be guaranteed?
  • Could you share recent photos of the exact room category and bathroom I would book?
  • Is the in-room Wi-Fi currently reliable for video calls, and is a recent speed test available?
  • Are the flowers and towel arrangement included for every booking or only used for photography?

How this page was made

We hold 144 reviews for this property and analyzed 144 reviews across 7 languages. Text matching and AI interpretation can miss nuance, sarcasm or translations. Repeated experiences, larger samples and independent sources are more useful than a single vivid quote.

Quotes, however, are only ever drawn from the 27 English reviews. Machine-translating a guest’s sentence would change their original wording.

We count mentions using text patterns. Complaints can come from a reviewer’s “disliked” field or negative wording in their review. These counts describe the reviews we hold, not the proportion of all guests who experienced an issue. “Recent” means the last 730 days.

Scores, section explanations and photo descriptions come from a model reading the source material using AI, last run 9 October 2026. Published photos may be old, staged or incomplete; AI cannot measure a room or verify a facility is currently open. Nearby places are mapped within 1500 m; walking times are estimates, not checked routes. Prices are observations for sample dates and will move.

We link to a review or its source page when an address is available. Source, rating, and month accompany quotes to help you locate them. Some links open a collection of reviews rather than the individual quote.
