Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently appreciated the hotel's excellent location and the friendliness of the staff, with several reviews also mentioning good value for money and comfortable, renovated rooms. However, there were frequent complaints about cleanliness issues, including dirty rooms and the presence of cockroaches, as well as negative comments about noise from elevators and corridors. Some guests also found the beds uncomfortable. Overall, while the location and service were highlights, improvements are needed in cleanliness, noise control, and bed comfort.

Simon, Mar 2023
Avoid this hotel. It claims 4 stars, but is closer to a one star in my opinion. I had my booking changed unilaterally by the hotel, and was summarily downgraded to a smaller room without any offer of compensation. The rooms were awful, the staff were rude, the common areas are dirty, the lifts are awful. I cancelled my booking and went elsewhere. Avoid, avoid avoid.
