Hotel was well located, staff were all very helpful and friendly, air conditioned rooms were a bonus as it was so hot during our stay but too efficient in the communal areas which felt cold!

Nice hotel close to the centre

Nice hotel close to the centre just opposite the castle. Parking is available but can be a bit tight. We could walk to all the areas we wanted to see. Lots of dining options in walking distance.

The Hotel was clean and comfortable, staff were very friendly and service was very good. Parking was quite busy but very convenient behind the Hotel. The Hotel location was excellent for the city centre and local amenities. We have stayed before and would stay again.

Ida, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

I won't be using this hotel again

The decor in the hall was very grey poorly painted and made me feel like i was in a episode of prisoner cell block H. Room was clean but needs a fresh lick of paint. The bed was in wheels and uncomfortable. Perfect place if you're going out on the town as I discovered most people staying here were as early hours in the morning i could hear various guests returning from their night on the town a little loud or where the walls too thin.
Ronda, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great position close to Principality, castle, shops etc. We were going to Utilita which was short 10 min walk

10/10 Exceptional

Very comfortable hotel with excellent restaurant

We liked the large rooms and bathroom. The air conditioning was quiet. We had delicious dinner at the restaurant downstairs. The castle is 5 minutes walking distance and there are many restaurants and stores nearby. We walked from the train station to the hotel. The staff were very friendly.

The shower set up in 609 needed a little getting used to. Otherwise okay, but a little too expensive for the experience.
