The hotel is conveniently located near the entertainment area with adequate and clean rooms. However, the rooms overlook a noisy swimming pool, and there is an additional charge for certain room types. The service was a mix of pleasant and accommodating, but there were instances of miscommunication and unenthusiastic staff. The location is somewhat disappointing being a bit far from the city center, although it offers great value during the off-peak season. The dining options were average with limited variety, and the hotel facilities were decent without standing out.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were large and spotlessly clean with a lovely view of the castle, yet the noise from the nearby swimming pool was quite disruptive. The location was excellent for off-peak visits, offering great value and easy access to town, but the size of the hotel seemed mismatched with its surroundings. The dining experience was exceptional in terms of hygiene and variety, with plenty of space for everyone, but the need to take shifts for meals was a drawback. Overall, a decent stay with some areas for improvement.
