I’m thoroughly delighted with my stay at this apartment. The location is fantastic, and the parking is convenient. The friendly and welcoming staff, particularly Alex, made my experience even more enjoyable. The breakfast was freshly prepared and served hot, which was a great start to my day. I highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay.

10/10 Exceptional

Wasn’t expecting to have an overnight stay but the price with breakfast included was too good to refuse. Once arrived at the hotel, there was very friendly staff and an affordable dinner with good options. Room was comfy but admittedly elderly furnishings. But, breakfast was beyond expectations with a full cooked & continental included. Would recommend!

Our room had an unpleasant odour, probably coming from the carpet. The hotel needs updating, and beds need to be replaced with comfortable ones. The staff were very friendly, and the breakfast was good. Location and parking is very good.
