“Comfortable, value for money hotel with good food and friendly staff. And a geat view of the Castle!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Triple Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉Although the staff at reception were really friendly and helpful, my only dislike was that I thought the reception area was rather sparse and soulless......but that's only a tiny observation rather than a criticism.
눇The bedroom was spotless, beds really comfortable and the facilities excellent. As for part of our stay there the weather was particularly wet, it was nice to be able to come back to our room and shower, change into dry clothes and enjoy a hot drink in the room. On one of those wet days I came back on my own, and the girl who was cleaning the rooms was most concerned about me and asked if she could help in any way. I found this a really nice touch. The Restaurant was also excellent. the food was delicious and prices very reasonable.

눉Pre booked early checkin and upgraded to superior room as we were attending a function at mid day and needed to change. Unfortunately room wasn't ready so had to change at a relative's flat. Returned to the hotel around 6.00pm. Disappointed with room, shabby, tired asked to see another room. Same decor but on a higher floor. Bathrooms very small and shower over the bath, dangerous for older visitors as no handrails. My husband slipped on the rubber mat and bumped his knee.
눇Position of hotel.

“We would definately stay there again.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends

눉The twin room only had one chair and no table, no problem for one night but not for a longer stay, the double balcony room was excellent with good views of the castle except that there was no mean of keeping the balcony door open to get some fresh air.
눇Friendly and helpful staff, one of our rooms was ready early so we were allowed to check in a bit early. bed are very comfy. The location is good, we didn't try the breakfast as we thought it too expensive but did use the restaurant and especially liked the "Kalbi" which was a reasonable price as is the lunch time special.

눉As above. No breakfast included for £200, for a room that's the size of my garage. Lift needs updated. Looks like a cargo elevator.
눇Location is fantastic. Room was very small and needs re painted. Paint flakes off the units and some mats are loose, from the hairdryer area. Shower door needs WD40 on it as it squeaks loudly.
