Was an easy base for christmas. Had a peaceful stay with covid measures-room was n't serviced during stay or fully supplied, everything was very good. We liked sitting in the restaurant in downstairs bar as well as upstairs restaurant.

This accommodation was straightforward and spotless, it had perfect staff and location. I loved the room, the bed was comfy. The breakfast was included and had a good choice of meals. Set just off centre of town, center and restaurants in the industrial area.

Spotlessly clean, interesting hotel with ideal location right next to the town centre. It was nice having an iron/ironing board, an electronic key card and a work desk. Restaurant Michelle's Coffee Shop located 11 km away was a nice surprise.

I came here for 1 night and had a very lovely stay. The food was nice, service was good and the view was lovely. Handy location, 5 mins walk from the city centre. And furthermore, there was the box only 200 metres of the venue. Large bed, exceptionally attentive staff. Great facilities and the pool was nice.

It was a perfect stay, beautiful little place. The room was overly warm and we liked the stay. Cheese, hot waffles, pancakes, scrambled eggs and jam - super breakfast.

I had a nice stay, would recommend this place. Exceptional value, the restaurant was stunning, the hotel was tidy. The personnel was always available and they provided special service. I enjoyed a comfortable decor and vintage furniture. For breakfast I had cheese, scrambled eggs, pancakes, bangers and hot waffles. Spectacular location, walking distance to business area.

The ambiance was family and I liked every second of my very peaceful time here. The bed was very clean and the restaurant was good and had lots of food. Staff were polite and kept the place reasonably clean. Food in the buffet breakfast was savoury.

We recommend this awesome hotel and its HELPFUL staff. Appreciated that we had a work desk, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels and a radio in the suite. On-site restaurant Riverview was a bonus, had dinner there.
