Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a gem in terms of location, offering easy access to local restaurants and supermarkets. The rooms are comfortable and clean, and the staff is extremely helpful. However, the lack of an on-site restaurant can be a downside. The value for money is fair, considering the nearby amenities, but a slight inconvenience is the absence of a restaurant on the premises.
