"The hotel is ideally situated, being far enough away from the heart of town not to be too noisy, but close enough to be with a 15 min walk of so from the centre."

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback from previous guests about their experience.

6.8/10

I had a decent stay at the hotel, especially considering the price, which was only $35 through booking.com. The rooms were clean, but I found them a bit dated, and the bathrooms could use some updating too. The small plunge pool was a nice spot to unwind, but the vibe in the reception could really use a boost as it felt less welcoming compared to the restaurant staff. Overall, the value for money is fair with some room for improvement.
