The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Variety

I was thrilled to find such a wide selection of gluten-free options, including delightful desserts, which made dining a pleasure for my coeliac child. The salad sandwich bar had an impressive variety that catered to our tastes, making each meal enjoyable.

My experience at the hotel was filled with mixed feelings. While the cleanliness of the rooms was noteworthy and the staff made an effort to be accommodating, the noise levels from the disco were unbearable and completely ruined the experience. Additionally, the dining options left much to be desired, with bland presentation overshadowing the potential for a pleasant meal.

I had a rather mixed experience at the hotel. While the location is perfect for those interested in nightlife, the noise levels at night were quite disruptive and the overall cleanliness left much to be desired. However, the friendly staff were a highlight, making my stay a bit easier. I would recommend this place for a short party stop, but would not reiterate for family or work visits due to the noise and uncleanliness.

I enjoyed lunch at a cafe across the street, but the hotel dining options were limited, and breakfast started a bit late for my schedule.
