    Comfortable stay with nice breakfast

    Spent a night here. The room was really clean and pretty spacious. Staff were super friendly and helped us out. Breakfast was tasty, especially liked the variety. Just wish the air conditioning wasn't so cold when we arrived. took forever to warm up. The bar was nice too, open late which was great.

    comfy bed

    Perfect for a couple's getaway

    Bed was really comfy. The room was lovely and dark when going to sleep, perfect for a much needed rest after long days on the road.

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but still acceptable.

    small room

    the stay was def worth it! breakfast was super handy, especially being able to take it to go. location is good too for a quick stop during ferry trips, and the castle park nearby was a nice surprise for the kids after long hours in the car. easy check-in n clean room.

    but the sofa bed was really uncomfy for the kids and the beds were smaller than expected. also, would have liked more space in the room.

    Perfect Stay for Families

    We enjoyed a peaceful night at this hotel with immaculate rooms. The staff were friendly and always ready to help. Breakfast was a self-service affair but rather basic. I'd recommend checking out local Michelin-starred restaurants for dinner—absolutely worth it!

    uncomfortable sofa bed

    the staff were lovely and super helpful. The room was overall nice. breakfast was decent too with a good variety, really enjoyed it! the beds were a bit like water beds but they felt comfy to me. had a nice stay for a fam trip, despite being a bit far out.

    but the room cleaning was kinda weird, they didn't tidy up unless we put the sign out. and the sofa bed was not comfy at all, my kids didn't have a great night.

    great supportive staff but limited breakfast variety

    The staff were incredibly accommodating. They quickly upgraded our room when we needed more space, enhancing our comfort significantly.

    The breakfast options felt repetitive over our four-night stay.
