Although we didn't have the breakfast offered by the hotel, there were many cheaper options if you walked 100m into town. Basically I believed the hotel breakfast was overpriced compared to other locations visited.
The location was very central. The staff were very polite and knowledgable. The room was clean, reasonably spacious and the bed was comfy. The price for this premises was very reasonable

One room was not fully prepared - all the electrics had to be plugged in. Also we suffered electricity cuts, one late at night on the first night, leaving us in the pitch black. As it is an old hotel, the rooms were inclined to be dark.
Breakfast had a very good selection, and rooms comfortable, with good bathrooms and tea/coffee making facilities. Mostly friendly staff. The entrance and reception area had lovely plaster work. Praise for Irfan on reception, always pleasant and ready to help.
