Categories

Cleanliness
8
Mostly described as very clean in many reviews, though a few reports of hair/floss on arrival and some tired/shabby decor reduce the score slightly.
Service
9
Staff repeatedly praised as friendly, professional and helpful; positive reception of service overall despite occasional check‑in timing issues.
Location
9.5
Consistently highlighted as excellent—central, walking distance to restaurants, attractions and shopping; clear strong point of the hotel.
Room Quality
7.5
Mixed feedback: some spacious/privilege rooms with great views, but several mentions of tired rooms, small bathrooms, interior windows and inconsistent room allocation versus booking.
Amenities
7.5
Issues noted with nearby nightclub noise, small/underwhelming common areas and reception, and some missing small items (e.g., bath towels); amenities feel undersized for full 4‑star expectations.
Value for Money
9
Many guests reported good value and a strong price-to-quality balance; a minority felt it was overpriced for the state of some rooms.
Food and Beverage
8.5
Breakfast frequently described as very good/varied and enjoyable, though the breakfast room is small, crowded and sometimes poorly replenished according to some guests.
Overall Experience
9
Generally positive overall: great location, friendly staff and clean rooms lead to strong recommendations, tempered by occasional noise, room condition and small‑scale facility complaints.

A little disappointing in regards to amenity and the pounding nightclub nextdoor was a real negative.
Pros:

Centrally located .Room faced the street with a view of the square.

Cons:

Had an all night music club right next door which impacted our stay.
Breakfast room was small, windowless and crowded and could not accommodate many guests at any one time. It felt more like a canteen than a 4 star hotel breakfast room. Staff were unable to replenish crockery, food or clear tables in a timely manner .
The front reception area was very uninspiring and small and doubled as a bar area. The hotel common areas were undersized generally .

Disappointing- definitely not 4 star.
Pros:

Great location. Pleasant, courteous staff. Room was very clean. Good bed linen. Coffee and tea replenished.

Cons:

The room was shabby with peeling, poorly applied paint, odd furnishings and a very ugly storage unit for the minibar. The bathroom was more like a hostel than a 4 star hotel. The hallways urgently need upgrading. Definitely not 4 star and not worth just on 300€ per night.
