Guest Ratings & Reviews

Real Guest Experiences & Ratings

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests often appreciate the hotel's accessible location, especially its proximity to the bus station, city centre, and restaurants in The Calls. Many find the rooms clean and comfortable, particularly noting the comfortable beds and effective black-out blinds; some guests on higher floors enjoyed city views. The accessible room is frequently described as spacious, even for three adults, and the availability of a microwave in the lobby, along with free cutlery, plates, coffee, and tea, is a definite plus for many; though a few guests have mentioned that standard rooms can feel a bit small. Daily cleaning and towel changes are appreciated.

Solid Choice for City Exploration

friendly staffclean spaceconvenient locationambient lighting

The staff at the front desk were notably friendly. The room provided a simple clean space with a functional shower and toilet. I found the location convenient. A brief walk got me to both the city center and a nearby parking area. The ambient lighting in the room created a relaxing atmosphere.

My room this time felt rather small, especially with limited space available for storing clothing.

The location was accessible, making it easy to commute.

The room felt small and lacked storage space. There was no place to put my suitcase except on the floor. This was inconvenient given the room's size. The bathroom had a constant sewage smell. It.
