Lovely Room but if you’re unfortunate enough to be on the bar side of the street it’s truly too loud to sleep. Music from the bars went until 4:00 am. Unless you have a guaranteed room on the d castle side I would not recommend this location

The hotel was ok. I went on my honeymoon here and unfortunately back to back days found large roaches in our room. To say the least, we didn’t fully enjoy the stay. Thankfully we stayed elsewhere for the majority of our honeymoon. We stayed at other hotels in the area and they didn’t seem to have this problem. Other than that the staff was so friendly and location was great. Definitely get a room facing the pool to avoid the noise. Best part was the pool and pool service. Overall it was okay.

First look was all good reception lady was very nice i had paid extra for balcony and pool view well on entering the room all looked good very clean very small room then i opened my curtains to find frosted doors no view ! and you need all the lights on as it was so dark also a tiny half length hanging cupboard no shelves as the safe was on it so had to live out of my case for a week i did go to reception the next day as i had booked two rooms next to each other that was the same the balconys was directly on to the pool you cauldnt use them for two kids running in and out of them and people sitting on your wall to your balcony round the pool. When i complained and asked to move i was told quite sharply that i had got what i paid for and no other rooms left ? So i asked if i can have a hanging rail but it never appeared!!! Also the pool was dirty it got worse over the week so i didnt use it shame it looked nice at the start ? But i must say the breakfast staff was great big shout out for them ! At reception i was told that they would try and get some money off for me but didnt hear a word after that day so if you get rooms on the 6 floor beware the rooms are dark no view and no hanging space for two in room 601 ,602 had a bit more but they are very dark and dont use the pool if it looks murky !!!!!!

The hotel is lovely and recently renovated. The staff were nice and accommodating. It is very important to understand that this hotel is located directly on the Main Street of old town. It is extremely noisy. Also, our room was a bit weird, as there was no door to the shower.

Hotel lovely location good but level of noise at night was way worse than expected the room was literally on top of nightclubs. Also room very small no storage or anywhere to put clothes. Staff really nice. Apart from noise and small room everything else good. £150 taken from card on check in for security deposit.

Great stay right in the heart of the old town

Lovely stay Rooms big and clean (not 100% sure about the open shower when we first got there but it was ok) Roof terrace was lovely and relaxing It is noisy at night till circa 3am due to its location above the old town strip but the hotel provides ear plugs and you’ll need them. Overall a wonderful stay

We stayed here for 4 nights and our stay was great. The staff on reception were so friendly and helpful and greeted us every time with a smile and hello as we were on the same floor. The staff at breakfast and at the bar were also friendly and welcoming. Our room was great with a balcony over looking the pool. The spa treatments were great and value for money was amazing. The only thing to comment on which wasn’t too big an issue was the ‘gym’. An outside area with machines which were weathered and not your usual expectation of a gym. There were lots of reviews commenting about the noise but yeah it was noisy when our balcony door was open but not enough to interrupt our sleep or put us off our stay. Great hotel for location and great facilities with great people that work there.

Good hotel very central location. Would be easy to get to by car except for long term construction closing the direct road. An unpleasant surprise, however the staff did their very best to redirect and we made it. Had to find street parking. There is a free parking lot about 10 minutes walk. Hilly.
