8.8/10 Excellent! (146 reviews)
Only reason I'm not giving it the full 5/5 stars is because there was a heatwave and the room was like a sauna, on high! The room had a desktop fan but it didn't do much, got very little sleep. The room was very nice, layout and quality of beds and towels are top notch. The manager was great, friendly and very helpful so I do recommended it! :)

A very nice place, clean, simple room, everywhere well maintained, friendly helpful staff. Nice garden to have breakfast in and the hotel is in a good location, just outside the city centre (which means it's quiet in the evenings) but only 5-10 minutes' walk from the centre (depending how fast you walk). The location also affects the price, which was very reasonable. The only thing we would have liked to have - in view of the unusually high temperatures - was AC but other than that, wonderful!
