Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located near the beautiful river Dee and offers comfy rooms with a good shower.
The hotel is conveniently located near the center of town, with easy access to an outdoor bar area. The rooms were comfortable, although some practical amenities were lacking. The service was efficient, particularly with housekeeping. The dining experience offered fresh salads, and the facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel has a convenient location near the center of town, next to the River Dee, making it a great area to explore. The rooms are well-equipped with an adjoining bathroom featuring a good shower, but lacking a bedside table. The bed is very comfortable. The service, including housekeeping, is satisfactory. The dining experience offers traditional regional homemade products. Overall, it is a decent option for the price.
