Reviews
Bathroom drain was clogged.
Windows facing hotel entrace where people would go out to smoke, so smell cam into the room, as well as midges, since no screens on windows
The furniture and carpet is dated but otherwise it was a very nice stay. The staff was nice and spoke English well, the room was comfortable, and the meals (dinner and breakfast) were good. The hotel was quiet indoors and there was no noise from outside. It’s conveniently located on the ring road. Check in and check out was easy.
