The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. While the rooms were clean and comfortable, the space felt a bit cramped for a family of four. The service was friendly and helpful, with a thoughtful birthday card and prosecco. The location was convenient for the city center but near a noisy aircon unit. Dining was enjoyable with excellent service, but the prices were higher than expected.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were a bit noisy and cramped, they did offer all the necessary facilities. However, the lack of air conditioning on a warm day was a downside. The service was average with a convenient location close to the city center but lacked attention to detail. The dining experience was satisfactory but could improve the menu variety. Overall, the hotel provides basic amenities for a decent stay at a reasonable price.

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the city center. The rooms were comfortable and clean, although a bit difficult to move around when the sofa bed was up for the kids. The service was impeccable, with the staff being very helpful and friendly.

The hotel had some pros like being perfectly clean, well-furnished, and comfortable as expected from a Holiday Inn. However, the rooms were small with adjoining doors leading to noise disturbances and required multiple requests for additional amenities. Despite these issues, the service was exceptional with helpful and lovely staff. The location, though in walking distance to attractions, suffered from ongoing repairs and had some shortcomings like a subpar car park full of pigeons. The dining experience was nice overall, but with lukewarm food and limited staff causing disorganization.

The hotel provides comfortable rooms, although family rooms may be a bit tight when the additional beds are in use. The service is friendly and helpful, yet the lack of a receipt system was a slight letdown.
