Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has some positives like a friendly and helpful service, but there are also some drawbacks such as small, cold rooms and security concerns at the back entrance. The location near the train station and town is convenient. The dining experience offers good value but with some inconsistencies. Overall, it's a mixed experience that could be improved in certain areas.
The hotel had its strengths and weaknesses. Staff service was excellent, especially the kitchen staff who accommodated an early morning request. However, the sad condition of the orchid near the landing was a downside. The location was ideal for various purposes, particularly its proximity to the train station. The dining experience was lovely with good quality food, and the facilities were up to expectations.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were very nice and clean but felt a bit like a furnace at times. The service was extremely friendly and helpful, although the location was not the most secure. The dining was quite good, with friendly staff, and the facilities were decent overall.
