Cleanliness
6
Mixed comments: several guests praised clean rooms, but others reported smelly rooms, bathroom issues and a lack of basic cleaning (e.g., duster needed); overall slightly below average.
Service
7.6
Generally praised—many reviews call staff polite, responsive and friendly (extra early check-in, helpful shuttle), but multiple reports of staff giving false promises or being non-accommodative create inconsistency.
Location
8
Consistently positive: central location, close to shops and described as 'perfect' or 'very good' for many guests.
Room Quality
6.2
Mixed: some guests found rooms spacious and beds comfortable, while others reported worn/uncomfortable beds, leaks (bathtub/shower) and room wear—mildly below average.
Amenities
6
Mixed amenities: positives include airport shuttle and wellness/massage facilities, but several broken or non-functional items (jacuzzi/bain remous), plus unreliable internet detract from the score.
Value for Money
7.6
Strongly positive: many headlines and pros highlight good/very good value for money and upgrades available for modest extra cost.
Food and Beverage
5.8
Frequently cited as limited: breakfast and meal choices often described as sparse or in need of more variety; generally the weakest area for F&B.
Overall Experience
7.2
Overall mixed-positive: multiple guests enjoyed their stay (friendly staff, good location, value), but notable negative experiences (e.g., checking out early, service failures, facility issues) reduce the overall score.

Good value for money. Breakfast options limited.
Pros:

Upgrade for little £££ on top

Cons:

False promises by staff. One minute they promised one thing. Next minute they deny any knowledge. If they promise you anything get them to write it down and sign.
