I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The location was superb, adjacent to the old city wall and very close to the Red Funnel ferries. The rooms were comfortable, especially for families with a baby cot, but it was a downside not having an opening window. The service, particularly from the manager and housekeeping, was top-notch. The dining experience, despite the reasonably high rate, was notable for its udon dishes. Overall, a good value for money choice with some minor drawbacks.

The hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of the city, just a stone's throw away from the old city wall, making it convenient for exploring the historical sites. The room was spacious and modern, but the price was a bit on the higher side. The service, especially from the manager, was top-notch, although housekeeping could be more attentive. The dining experience, with freshly caught fish served, was exceptional, albeit at a reasonably high rate.

The hotel offers excellent rooms with very comfy massive beds and great bathrooms, and the staff, especially the manager, provides exceptional service.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, just off the city center and very close to everything. The rooms were spacious, clean, and had a separate WC, which was great. The manager was especially helpful, and the housekeeping service was top-notch. However, the dining options were limited for the reasonably high rate paid.
