7.6/10

I had a pleasant stay overall at this hotel. The rooms were clean and came with a neat 'handy' phone that provided free Wi-Fi and helpful local tourist details, which definitely added value. However, the location wasn't the most convenient; it took me a good 30-40 minutes to walk to the main center. The service staff were amazing and extremely helpful, but I did notice that some ground-level rooms could be noisy due to their proximity to the reception area. The value for money is decent, but you might want to consider the walk if you plan on exploring the city frequently.

However, I noticed the location wasn't the best for accessing public transport, and some may find the service a bit inconsistent. Still, overall, it's a good place to relax and enjoy.
