“I found the staff to be remarkably welcoming, and the hotel, despite its older charm and a slightly labyrinthine layout, presents a good value, especially with its satisfying breakfast and reasonably priced dining options. The rooms, while simple, provide essential comforts like in-room coffee and tea service, making for an adequate stay.”
