Reviews and Ratings
Staying on the ground floor, we had a private kitchen-like experience with secure parking right by our room. However, the rooms were a bit old and dark without a refrigerator. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, creating a great impression with their friendly and extremely helpful service. The location was suitable for my visit, but not inspiring for access to town or restaurants. The dining was good but basic for the price. The facilities were decent overall.
Staying on the second floor without a lift was a bit of a workout, but the rooms themselves were quite good and secure parking was a plus. However, the rooms felt a bit old and dark without a refrigerator.
The rooms, despite the fact that there was mold around the window and at a higher price, are good, and the parking lot is secure. However, the parking is limited, leading to overflow in the main reception area.
My stay at the hotel was convenient for my visit to the vessel in Fos due to safe parking for my car, but the location was lackluster for exploring the town. The service was excellent, and the dining experience was basic yet suitable for business needs. The room was clean but had some issues with mold around the window.
I found the hotel to be a mixed experience. While the rooms were the best find with secure parking nearby, there was a noticeable smell of smoke and mold. Additionally, being located on the second floor without a lift was a bit inconvenient.
