William

United Kingdom, May 2024

8.0/10

The hotel is in a perfect location in the heart of the old center, just a short walk away from the main tourist attractions. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and incredibly quiet, but some were a bit small. The service was consistently friendly and helpful, except for the occasional off-hand attitude from some staff members. The dining options offered a tasty and varied selection, though there were minor issues with the buffet at times.

The hotel is located in the very center of the city, near all major historic sites, offering a great spot to explore. The rooms are modern but might face construction sites at times, impacting natural light and introducing some noise. The service was a bit off as we requested two rooms but were given three despite having proof of our booking.
