Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Dragonfly from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Dragonfly is often praised for its spacious and comfortable rooms that offer many facilities, along with its convenient location, just 5 minutes from the station and close to clubs and pubs. The breakfast is well-regarded, with offerings like good coffee and perfectly cooked scrambled eggs. While most find the rooms appealing, some guests have occasionally mentioned issues with small room size or cleanliness in certain areas, and some experienced damp smells. Despite this, many appreciate the hotel's unique, quirky character and find it to be a safe and secure place to stay.
