Nice hotel

Hotel was a little walk from "downtown". But the hotel was quiet, clean and the front desk was very helpful. They held our bags at the end of our trip until we were ready to leave. Let us check in and go into our room at 10am with no extra charge. Sometimes the wait for the elevator would take a few minutes but that wasnt a big issue. About a 15 minute easy walk from the train station. But no issues here and would stay again.

Absolutely not a 4* and dirty as anything

This I in no way a 4* hotel. It was filthy. It was 28 degrees and they gave us a small desk fan to cool the room down, the windows didn’t open properly. The access to the pool is not free - unless you have a swimming cap, which no one tells you, you have to have. Otherwise you can pay for the caps and then share half the pool with teachers conducting lessons. Staff were unbelievably unfriendly and totally unhelpful.
