Reviews
Staff are terrific, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel highly
The price is reasonable, or rather, cheap.
The only downside: The rooms weren't cleaned once during our three days. Perhaps we overlooked this when booking and should have requested it. But we would definitely book this hotel again.
Another suggestion for improvement (which doesn't affect our rating): There are fringe hanging from the armchairs, some of which are torn or ripped off. It would be a visual improvement if the fringe were removed completely.
- nice and good meal
- at night good
- I was leaving at 7 a.m. (breakfast opening at 8 a.m. on Saturday), I was provided with a takeaway bag
Regret: breakfast time on Saturday and Sunday at 8 a.m.: too late
