Karina, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Got the hotel's probably worst and most depressing room. According to the staff it was newly renovated, but smelled so strongly of paint that we didn't want to stay there. When we arrived at night they couldn't change it until the next day. The staff at the reception were really friendly and we got a new room pretty quickly the next day. This was really nice and a clear improvement. Could use a renovation though

The room was well looked after - everything you need was supplied. Coffee, tea, sugar and milk always restocked. Everyone was friendly. The hotel is very conveniently located.
