good locationnice staffrelaxed atmosphereold buildingoutdated picturessatellite tv
the hotel has a good location, away from the main tourist areas. it was still easy to reach lively areas. the staff were very nice and relaxed. i found the atmosphere to be really nice.
the pictures did not really show the true status of the building. i thought it seemed very old. there were no smart tv, just old satellite tv.

i stayed in a superior double or twin room, and it was very clean. the staff were very friendly and cute. the location was perfect for me and my mum to have a long weekend exploring.
one woman on reception tried to overcharge us for the children's tax. this happened even though her colleague had already told us they would be 50%. also, there was a half eaten bar of chocolate in the fridge and dregs of a bottle of wine.
