I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the positive side, the location was brilliant and aptly located, offering easy access to shops and restaurants. However, the noise from the shops kept me up until 4 am, and the twin room I booked was dinghy with mildew in the bathroom.

The hotel is situated in a prime city center location, making it fantastic for shopping and exploring. The rooms were spacious with minor maintenance issues, allowing access to additional amenities. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The dining experience offered a good selection but could use more variety. Overall, I can't fault this hotel and am eagerly anticipating my next stay.

The hotel had some drawbacks with the rooms lacking a proper lounge area and the pool being small and overlooked a less appealing side of the property. The rooms appeared dated with stained carpets and chipped tiles. However, the quick check-in process and nice room helped balance things out for a pleasant stay.

The hotel room I stayed in was quite small, meant for two guests but not ideal for three as booked, and it felt a bit cramped for a stay longer than a couple of nights. However, the location was fantastic, right in the heart of the city and convenient for our needs. The service, from reception to restaurant staff, was truly excellent and friendly. The dining experience was decent, with a good selection but a bit pricey for my liking. The facilities were good, although some areas could benefit from more investment and a deeper clean.

Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms had nice views over the castle, but some were dinghy with mildew in the bathroom. The service was efficient and extremely helpful, though I couldn't recall the staff's names from my stay. The location was excellent for shopping but not ideal for relaxation. The dining had some issues, like difficult-to-open food heaters, and the price was a bit high for the quality received.
