    great wi-fi

    This place suits me perfectly with great wi-fi, a cozy bar area, and 24-hour security. The staff once guided me to delicious food on my first stay, which I appreciated. Highly recommend it! I'm coming back for a xmas.

    Stylish rooms with a clever mix of modern facilities and historical charm impressed me. Unique nods to local history create a characterful atmosphere worth enjoying.

    Noise from the bar below bleeds into rooms, especially noticeable late at night and early morning — not ideal for those needing quiet. The breakfast options were disappointing, featuring low-quality ingredients that felt out of sync with the rest of the offerings. Some room door placements feel insecure, with high foot traffic leading to potential safety concerns, especially for those wanting an early night.

    tasty breakfast
    limited parking
    unhelpful staff

    Found the hotel to be charming and comfortable, with great attention to detail in the rooms. The breakfast was a standout, offering a tasty variety. A couple of minor issues arose, like limited parking options and a somewhat unhelpful staff member, but overall a pleasant experience.

    great breakfast

    Couple's nice retreat

    The staff were incredibly friendly and helped us with our bags, which made a great first impression. the breakfast buffet was a standout. fresh smoothies and a wide range of options made it feel like a real treat.

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but honestly, it was acceptable for the experience.

    modern decor
    extensive breakfast
    parking issue

    The decor in the interior boasts a contemporary style blended with historic charm, making it a pleasant escape. The bar area provides a casual spot to unwind after a long day, while the extensive breakfast options cater well to diverse tastes.

    Parking presents a hassle since reservations must be made in advance, which can leave you scrambling for alternatives. While the dining portions are substantial, the quality has been inconsistent. a few meals left much to be desired, including some overcooked dishes. the rooms tend to get surprisingly warm, with limited options for regulating the temperature, which might not be ideal for everyone looking for a comfortable night's sleep.

    local flavors
    stark dining area
    lack of charm
    ambiance detracting

    The cozy room was brilliantly decorated, creating a warm atmosphere, complemented by snacks and a personalized note at check-in. Friendly staff ensured a comfortable experience, though the dining area felt stark and lacked charm, detracting from the overall ambiance. A notable highlight was the selection of local cold cuts, which showcased regional flavors beautifully.

    Had an awesome time! The room was super comfy, with a really nice big shower. Breakfast was on point—full English was delicious! And the vibe in the bar with saddle seats was just too cool. Only bummer was parking. had to walk a bit to find a spot. defi worth it!
