Nice room, and overall service and staff good. But not impressed with breakfast service, particularly on the morning of 1 January. Yes, it was very busy but better organisation and management would have assisted in a better breakfast service and experience.

stayed at this hotel last night and gave it three stars. While the hotel was clean and acceptable, it felt very basic considering the price. There were no facilities such as a pool or spa, and the room did not include a bathtub. Basic amenities like a toothbrush, bathrobe, or slippers were also not provided. Overall, the stay was okay, but for the price, we expected more comfort and amenities.
