Really good service and prime location

convenient taxi stand breakfast options attentive staff

I found the taxi stand conveniently across from the entrance. Transport was very accessible. The rooms have in-room breakfast options, which I thought was a great touch. The staff was really good. Their attentiveness added to the experience. I received welcome drink vouchers upon arrival. These vouchers were usable at the hotel bar.

The abundance of plastic flowers throughout the hotel was not what I expected, I'd have preferred none at all.

comfortable room three nights extra fee church bells

the room proved quite comfortable for my stay of three nights.

i was disappointed they charged me a 10% fee to make a dinner reservation at the fortress, a service i expected to be complimentary. also, the church bells rang loudly every morning at 6am, a rude awakening.

The staff provided excellent assistance from arrival. My room was a single room and it was well-kept. Breakfast offered diverse options with attentive service. A taxi stand across the street offered transport.

The hotel lacked on-site parking so i used valet parking, which cost extra per day.

the location was acceptable i suppose as i could walk to most places i needed.

the room looked pretty tired i have to say and it was not properly cleaned. the carpet had some stains on it and the bathroom had hairs which weren't mine. also, the shower pressure was very low, it made it hard to wash away the soap.
