Comfortable beds! A bit noisy. Breakfast had some issues (no fruit, juices or lettuce, dry scrambled eggs), but had a lot of perks too. Good value altogether!!

Hot Hot Hot

The room was very warm. Regardless of how low I set the thermostat, it wouldn’t go below 24 degrees (it felt hotter), and there was no fan. Very uncomfortable. Cramped, but I expected that.

Great location. Very pleasant and polite members of staff. Room although a bit on the small side was nice and cosy. The room could do with some natural ventilation apart from A/C. Breakfast although quite basic was adequate enough to set you up for the day.

The room was average sized and clean. Love the twin duvets for the king beds. The bed itself was comfortable and the hotel was quiet although I didn’t get the sense there were many guests. Instant coffee was provided which was convenient. The bathroom was awful. Quite easily the worst bathroom facility I’ve ever come across in Europe. It felt like I was on a cruise ship where I could brush my teeth, use the toilet, and shower at the same time. The sink was tiny with really no shelf. The shower wasn’t the usual tub with a glass partition you find in Europe. It was a continuous part of the floor (no basin or lip whatsoever) with a drain in the floor and a curtain. Using the shower flooded the entire bathroom. There was nothing you could do except take as fast a shower as possible and once dry, use your bath towel to try and sop up the floor. There wasn’t an outlet in the bathroom and the only mirror was in the bathroom. You couldn’t really use a hair appliance. The breakfast (which was included when we booked) wasn’t very good - powered eggs, sausage, some sort of hash brown patty, plain crepe. The fresh fruit/vegetables and pastries were alright. I guess for the price it was all we could ask for; I mean we used it mostly for sleeping. However, the bathroom situation was a definite negative and I’d never stay here again.

The fact that I was on the main floor and every time someone flushed the toilet upstairs I could hear that at night. No issues with staff nor breakfast that was all great.
