Categories

Cleanliness
8.2
Generally reported as clean in many reviews, though a few guests noted rooms were barely cleaned, chipping paint in the bathroom, and inconsistent room servicing (e.g., shampoo not refilled).
Service
9.6
Staff repeatedly described as helpful, accommodating and 'super amazing'; isolated service issues (no service on one Saturday, key-card glitches needing staff escort) were mentioned but staff response was positive.
Location
9.8
Consistently praised — close to hospital, railway station, downtown and attractions; many guests chose the hotel specifically for its convenient location.
Room Quality
8.3
Rooms described as spacious, modern and comfortable by many, though some guests reported problems (hard beds, poor pillows, mirror light not working, temperature issues with pool area affecting expectations).
Amenities
7.6
Mixed feedback: parking and modern fittings positive, but frequent complaints about the pool (closed or too cold), restricted food/beverage venue hours, and some payment/access issues.
Value for Money
9.1
Several guests noted good price and value; included parking and breakfast added perceived value despite some F&B limitations.
Food and Beverage
8
Breakfast received both praise (good, cooked options) and criticism (limited, repetitive, unhealthy choices, single-use service items); overall decent but with room for improvement.
Overall Experience
9
Majority of stays described as very good/enjoyable with helpful staff and great location; some operational issues (pool, occasional cleaning/maintenance, access glitches) slightly tempered otherwise positive experiences.

Correcto. Buena habitación pero desayuno mejorable.
Pros:

La habitación espaciosa, cómoda y moderna. Aparcamiento incluido. El personal correcto en la recepción.

Cons:

El desayuno muy limitado, muy poco saludable. Todos los días lo mismo. Todo el material de servicio era de plástico y un solo uso, y no había personal limpiando tras el uso de las mesas.

The bathroom in the room I stayed in had a lot of chipping paint and didn’t get any room service to refill the shampoo bottle and restock the coffee packets.
