Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a luxurious experience with its four-poster bed and jet bath, but the noise from the pub nearby can be disturbing. The included dining of a steaming wok of prawns adds value to the stay.
My stay at the hotel was pretty good overall. The rooms were luxurious and spacious, with a jet bath and a four-poster bed, making it quite comfortable. The service was top-notch, but the noise from the pub nearby was a downside. The location was convenient, being right in the center of town near everything, although the noise could be bothersome. The dining experience was excellent with delicious French products provided. Overall, a mix of positives and negatives, but worth considering for a stay.
The hotel is ideally located in the heart of town, but the noise from the nearby pub can be a nuisance. The rooms are luxurious with a four-poster bed and a relaxing jet bath, offering a comfortable stay. The service, especially housekeeping, is top-notch. The dining experience with included English muffins is a delightful touch. However, the noise from the nearby pub can be disturbing at times.
