Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location is superb, right by the banks of the river. The rooms are in a 'used' condition and lack air-con or a fan on the private balcony. The service is efficient, with a paid shuttle service available. The proximity to the bus station is convenient. The dining options are limited to bagels. The facilities are adequate but could be improved.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room had a private balcony with a stunning view of the banks; it was clean, comfortable, and just what I needed for a relaxing getaway. The service was excellent, and the staff made me feel right at home. The location was perfect, close to everything, and very convenient. However, I did miss having air conditioning or a fan in the room. Overall, a great experience with good value for money.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The private balcony overlooking the banks was a nice touch, but the room felt a bit worn. The shower was convenient, but the lack of air-con or a fan made it uncomfortable at times. The service was satisfactory, but there were some misses. The location was convenient being in the heart of town, but it had its drawbacks. The dining experience with grilled steaks was enjoyable. The facilities were decent overall.
I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The rooms were in a used condition, but having a balcony with a private balcony overlooking the banks was a real treat. Sadly, there was no air-con or fan, which made it a bit uncomfortable at times. The service was exceptional, especially with the housekeeping and the shuttle service being top-notch. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of town with everything close by. The dining experience, although offering tasty toasted sandwiches, was limited in options. The facilities were decent, providing what I needed during my stay.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The room was clean and comfortable, and the balcony offered a stunning view of the banks. The only downside was the absence of air conditioning or a fan. The service was top-notch with excellent housekeeping and a lovely welcome drink. The location was perfect, right in the heart of town and close to everything I needed. The dining experience was fantastic with aged USDA prime steaks on the menu. The facilities were great, but I wish there was air conditioning in the room.
