"You are a bit outside of the city center, but it is only a 15 - 20 minute walk away. We appreciated the helpful staff at the front desk. You are on a busy street so there was outside noise from traffic to later evening. We did not take advantage of the breakfast as it was an additional cost."

"I had a wonderful stay in this hotel. Although the solo rooms look small in the photos, they are quite big and comfortable. The hotel is well-kept, has very helpful staff and offers a great breakfast. It's also well-located, with plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. Be aware that if you don't book your room with breakfast included, it will be an extra €32, which is too steep a price for what is on offering."

"This was an unusual property but the digital operations worked fairly well until the check out process which I think needs to be thought through a little more. The free storage lockers was super generous and appreciated and the tea and coffee in the locker area is a very nice touch. The room was very comfortable and the sink being outside the bathroom was a good idea. The storage area was very good. All round happy and would look at Zuma again."

"Only stayed for one night and mostly booked this hotel for the car park. The room was spacious and a little basic but functional. There were no tea or coffee facilities in the room (kettle was provided when asked but we had our own tea) and overall we thought that the hotel needed some maintenance. The breakfast was much better than expected with a good selection. The bus stop into town (bus 6) just opposite the hotel and it was easy enough to get around. Reception staff were great."
