In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Staff are the standout — Guests rate staff at 9.8, and reviews return to the same theme: a welcoming reception team that helps with transport, arranges pickups and even sorted takeaway on a rainy evening.
- Facilities score a perfect 10 — The facilities category is the hotel's top score, supported by a seasonal outdoor pool, infinity pool, jacuzzi, fitness centre and garden. Several reviewers call the pool a genuinely relaxing space.
- Value is rated highly — Value scores 9.2, helped by a complimentary shuttle to the station, a snack bar and an in-room breakfast option. For a 2-star property, guests clearly feel the extras add up.
- Rooms come in at 9.1 — Reviewers describe the rooms as spacious, comfortable and functional, with a decent bed and good air conditioning. Some standard doubles also include a balcony.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Location is the main compromise — One reviewer describes the hotel as remote and notes it sits next to Labaro train station, with a mall around 4 km away. The free shuttle helps, but you are not stepping out into the historic centre.
- Comfort lags the headline scores — Comfort is the lowest listed category at 8.4 — still respectable, but below staff, facilities and value. As a 2-star hotel, the rooms are practical rather than plush.
- The pool won't be there all year — Both the outdoor pool and infinity pool are described as seasonal, so a winter or early-spring stay won't include them. The jacuzzi and garden remain available, though.
- Check-in window is worth planning around — The listed check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:59. A 24-hour reception means staff are around, but late arrivals should confirm arrangements in advance.
