  • Overall: Rating of 3.9 out of 5

    "I would recommend this hotel - even if just for the breakfast." source Venere

    "The room itself was OK, clean & comfortable but we would have to say overall we didnÂ’t think we got value for what we paid for it." source Expedia

    "Great location, great service, highly recommended." source Expedia

    "Overall, a very friendly and nice hostelry." source Expedia

  • Service: Rating of 4.1 out of 5

    "If the hotel's staff had not persisted in trying all sorts of creative methods to reach the baggage service, and then persisted more in calling and calling, I don't know what I would have done." source Hotels.com

  • Location: Rating of 3.9 out of 5

    "Unfortunately, we are booked to stay here again in August as the location suits us, but we will write requesting a superior room to those we were given on this trip." source Venere

  • Room: Rating of 3.7 out of 5

    "No windows in my room, only a skylight." source Hotels.com

    "The initial room that we requested was a small room with no windows. We were fortunately able to upgrade to a room with windows on the main floor, but I would not have stayed in the windowless room." source Venere
