Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was great; the rooms were spacious and clean, the staff were very friendly, and the location was excellent. However, the dining experience left something to be desired. Overall, it was a pleasant stay with good value for money.
I had a lovely stay at this historic hotel! The rooms had everything we needed, with comfy beds and a charming bar/lounge. The food was excellent although the decor was a bit old-fashioned. The service was top-notch with friendly and chatty staff, but the seating arrangement was a bit uncomfortable. The location was brilliant near the fort walls, but the town center was too quiet at night. The dining experience was mostly great with beautifully cooked meals, but some dishes were underwhelming. Overall, a comfortable and pleasant stay with a few minor hiccups.
The hotel had some ups and downs. The room had a small bed, but the bathroom was cramped and the breakfast was hit or miss. The service was top-notch with very friendly and helpful staff. The location was good with nearby attractions, but the dining experience was just okay.
