Quiet and just in the right place of town, near to everything ie airport train shops activities. Room was compact with no fridge or real cupboard space. Tea coffee was not replaced so had to get our own (small things) Taxi from airport to hotel was 25 euros but when ordered through the hotel it was 55 euros. Again it’s the little things that let you down?? Overall it was pretty basic but I guess 4star

Staff were fantastic, especially the bar staff. Very welcoming and friendly. Hotel was spotless and quiet. The pool area was really nice. Lovely bedrooms (in hindsight I should have booked a larger room, as was a bit tight, but totally my own fault). Cleaned every day, towels replenished. Really nice location.
