Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Station Hotel is often praised for its spacious rooms, some even featuring large bathrooms and heated towel rails, along with the convenience of on-site parking just outside the door. Many guests appreciate the good food available, from the plentiful breakfast to the eclectic dinner menu featuring local options. Its proximity to the Railway Station is a definite plus, and the shops are within easy walking distance. While some guests have noted that corridor carpets appear a bit worn, this doesn't detract from the overall positive experience.

adequate stay, but some issues noted

dated room unpleasant odor
the staff was friendly and the provided parking was spacious.
My room was in an outbuilding, and it felt quite dated. the linoleum floor in the bathroom had a strong, unpleasant odor (presumably due to the material). the carpeting in the main room featured large stains. I found a sizable stain on the armchair as well.
