My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were quaint but very clean, with good lighting and a flat-screen TV, yet they were cold and damp until late evening due to limited heating. The service was relatively good with a friendly and efficient staff, providing tea, coffee in the room, and a reliable wifi connection. The location was convenient with easy access to the town center, but it was in a terrible condition and surrounded by local building sites. The dining experience left much to be desired as the food tasted microwaved and lacked freshness. Overall, it was an okay stay with some ups and downs.

The hotel is located in a perfect spot close to the university area, which was just what I needed. The rooms were clean and the breakfast was good, but the hotel overall feels old and tired. The service was fantastic with very friendly staff, although housekeeping left towels in the corridor for too long.
