7.6/10

I was very happy with my stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and having a separate room with two single beds was a fantastic bonus. The pizza restaurant and bar on-site were convenient, and despite a cold start, the efficient air conditioner quickly warmed up the room. However, there was a slight issue with service, with take-away orders being prioritized over sit-down customers and encountering some rudeness when asking for basic amenities. The location was perfect, right in the heart of town, making it easy to explore the area. The dining experience was reasonable, although slightly pricey for what was offered. Overall, a good value for money.
