The gym facilities were excellent. The room was clean, however it was small with no air conditioning - a fan was provided. A small portable fridge is available on request.

Could do better!!

Our room definatly required an update. The sink tap was faulty, the bath waste was blocked. The kettle lead was so short, we had to use on the floor. I paid extra for a balcony room, it was disappointing to say the least. The buffet breakfast was hot, however i was dissapointed with the choice, especially vegetarian options. I would not stay at the hotel again, as i did not think it value for money.

Nice hotel

Good location, rooms aren’t very sound proof but the hotel was quiet. Breakfast was ok and the same thing every day- some different pastries would have been nice.

Great place to stay and would do so again. Clean, safe, secured outdoor parking, friendly staff. Short walk to the city walls and tourist attractions. The meals at the restaurant downstairs were average and my fish & chips tasted very fishy/not pleasant and the chips were soggy & greasy. The worst meal I had in the 3 weeks of travels.
