The hotel is charming and located in an excellent part of town, with transit to the airport just outside the door. The rooms are modern and comfortable, and the hotel is very clean. The staff is lovely!! Silvie at the front desk was always warm, friendly and very helpful!!! There are nearby restaurants and a nice bakery, but the central part of town is just a short walk! The WiFi worked well. Don’t hesitate to stay here!

Don't advertise parking if you can't provide it

Being part of a 2,000 mile road trip we picked this hotel because it provided parking facilities for €20 per night. I was sent a pre-check in questionnaire which I duly filled in ahead of time, part of which was my request for a parking space close to reception as I have a painful back issue (slipped disc). However, upon arrival I was promptly told that there were no parking spaces available, despite the hotel offering spaces and my request for said parking. At no point prior to check in was I informed that there were no parking spaces available, instead I was told I could park in the pay and display areas around the hotel but these were prohibitively expensive and therefore out of the question. I was then left to try and find alternative parking elsewhere and ended up a twenty minute walk from the hotel. A poor show that tainted an otherwise excellent trip..

The moment we arrived, the lady on reception was incredibly welcoming, friendly and helpful, and this level of service continued from all staff until we checked out. Great decor throughout the hotel and it was very conveniently located so we could walk to restaurants and bars. We would definitely stay here again.
