Super friendly staffs. Nice food at the bar, spacious and comfy room
The hot and cold water signal on the tab in the shower is wrong located. We switched all the way to the “red” - means hot water, and wait for a while but no hot water coming. We thought: Oh no may be it’s late at night time, no more hot water… until my partner turn it all the way to the “blue” signal - for Cold water, then the hot water came out. A bit confusing for us but it’s okay. Everything else was good

Great local spot, traditional pub style. Good food and great customer service. The rooms are older but the bathrooms are recently renovated and very nice.
No facilities for refilling our water bottles, only available when the bar is open later in the day.
3.0 / 10.0
Worst place I've ever stayed. If you value sleep, this isn't the place for you. Loud music until at least midnight from the pub 4 nights in a row. If earplugs and noise cancelling headphones don't help, your music is too loud. No respect for the guests staying in their rooms. On top of that, the beds aren't great, the wifi never worked, the rooms are outdated and weren't clean and the food at the restaurant was average.
