Great Hotel
We stayed for 3 nights. This is a lovely Hotel, very clean, our room was in the Courtyard and so very comfortable, fantastic beds, and a wet room bathroom. Staff were so friendly and welcoming. The breakfasts were freshly cooked to order and delicious..
We will definitely return sometime in the future.
Would highly recommend this hotel.
Hotel on busy road
Although the staff were friendly and helpful, the hotel was on a busy road and we had to sleep with the windows closed.
Bad service
Entire place shabby and needs updating. Restaurant service dreadful, after booking shown our table reluctantly, 10 minutes later no menu s or drinks despite ordering at the bar. After 30 minutes no menu s or drinks walked out. Breakfast was a make do affair. No continental, no fresh fruit, everything fried for cooked breakfast swimming in oil.
