Los jóvenes de recepción con pésima actitud: flojera, mala cara, no me dieron ningún beneficio, solo me recordaron que tenía incluido el desayuno pero por la hora no lo pude tomar. En la habitación se escucha ruidos de regaderas, baño, pasos, movimiento de maletas, portazos, et.

I booked this hotel and was turned away, as they had overbooked the property. I had to book another hotel at the last minute, and there was a massive extra cost for us

Property and staff excellent. Was going to be charged £20 for early check in. I challenged this, and it was revoked. I asked if we could get in if the room was ready. It was ready and left a sour taste in my mouth that they were going to charge extra for this. If that hadn’t happened, it would have been 5 stars all round because the rest was brilliant. Would recommend

Comfortable stay, larger than expected room. Bathroom is an odd layout, and not totally ideal for teenagers who like privacy while getting dressed, but was new with great fittings. Breakfast was average at best and expensive for what it was. No other breakfast options in the immediate area though, so plan accordingly. Overall, good value for money and we would stay again 🙂.
