Room and facilities were amazing, staff were very friendly.

Cmahon, United Kingdom

Staff is great as usual. Helpful, polite - great service in General. First time I've tried the breakfast - you can actually put together yourself better choices if you just go with the continental breakfast rather than something from the menu. Probably the best location if you just want to walk around.

Denes_trestya, Slovakia

Staff were extremely helpful and hotel is in an excellent location.

Rhona, United Kingdom

Convenient location, comfortable beds, decent meeting facilities. Good lunch as well.

Y, United Kingdom

Excellent location, first class service and great outdoor area. Breakfast above average and great small dishes and fine selection of drinks from the bar.

Valgardur, Iceland

The view and veranda ( £12 extra of course!) for the upgrade but worth it!

Kathryn, United Kingdom

Staff were so friendly and always had a smile. Choice of so many lovely places to eat straight across from the hotel.

Eileen, Ireland

position excellent for town and pubs etc room good size bed comfy parking (when you could get a space)

Peter, United Kingdom

The staff was very kind and very helpful. Thanks again for delivering the flowers up to the room!

Rolland, France

Staff friendly & helpful. Plenty of room in superior room.

Juju, United Kingdom

Excellent location!

Booking.com guest review guidelines

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This lets us know that our reviews come from real guests, like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or quiet room than someone who’s stayed at the property before?

We want you to share your story, both the good and the bad. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinion and experiences, which are critical in helping guests make well-informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, and are treated with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after being moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

Once a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.

We will use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content as well as the property replies to that content.

We will allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is that of a distributor of feedback from both guest and property.

Guidelines and standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc...).

      눉The bed is soft - too soft for me. I'd say it's maximum 2 on a 5 scale range having 5 the hardest. I loved the breakfast, however I really missed some veggies from the continental choices. It was only mushroom and some fruits available.

      눉The room was very basic given the price of it and was also really small. Bed wasn’t that comfortable and it’s was unbelievably warm in the room but we couldn’t open the window due to the noise outside When we arrived our room was not ready despite us arriving after the check in time making the room over an hour late, there was no offer to recompense us for that. We were stood at the check in desk for a long time, took a while for anyone to help us and then the system appeared to not be working just to add to the frustration.

      눇The location was great

      “Great location, staff and facilities.. but upgrade useless and some minor issues.”
      • • Leisure trip
      • • Group of friends
      • • City Double Room
      • • Stayed 3 nights

      눉Only one working lift, not possible to control temperature (a fan does not change the temperature), sink hardly draining (despite repeated notifications). The room upgrade was strange at best, view, extra size bathroom and bed - the view not that great, and as a "bonus" we got the constant noise from the pubs in the square until late morning and heavy traffic from early in morning (no, ear plugs do not make it OK), the extra bed (rather than a larger bed) was pretty useless, and I cannot imagine a four star hotel with smaller bathroom than the one we got with our upgrade.

      눇Excellent location, first class service and great outdoor area. Breakfast above average and great small dishes and fine selection of drinks from the bar.
