Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently highlight the spaciousness and excellent facilities of the rooms, with some even featuring a convenient European laundry setup. The hotel's central location allows for easy walks to the Octagon and other inner-city attractions. Many enjoyed the restaurant's delicious meals, especially the lamb dinner. Some guests, however, have noted that certain rooms can feel a bit dark due to limited natural light.
