Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had big, clean, and tidy rooms with a good TV and a private shower, but needed some renovations. There were issues with the booking process and reception availability, which was a bit worrying. The location was beautiful, perfect for evening walks, but there were minor dining and billing problems to note.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of ups and downs. The rooms, while spacious, could use a bit of sprucing up with a fresh coat of paint and some added USB ports. Trying to feed a small child at a low table was a messy affair. However, the bed was comfortable, and the room size was adequate.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel on the University Campus. The rooms were top-notch, spacious, and had excellent heating, providing a very comfortable and clean environment. The staff was amazingly friendly and accommodating, especially during a difficult time for me. The location was absolutely beautiful, surrounded by green areas and stunning old buildings. Unfortunately, the dining options were limited for those with allergies, but the ambiance created by the well-trained staff in the restaurant was lovely.
