Nice room, very clean few marks on sheets but think may be from the laundry bags or maybe the just the lights casting a tinge couldn't see them in natural light. Breakfast superb, staff all nice. Would happily book again.
The hotel is lovely the food was good maybe a bit pricey for what it was. The staff were approachable and friendly.

The most important thing in a hotel is cleanliness and this one is clean. The room is quite aged, however, and the shower didn’t drain properly as well as the shower door not shutting properly either. Breakfast in the morning was cereals/eggs/spreads, however, there was only 2 waitresses and it took 10 minutes for them to take the order and almost 20 minutes to be served after. It’s not the staff’s fault but they should employ enough people. I hate to see staff being overworked like this. Apart from that receptionists and staff are friendly, even kindly printed something out for me.
Everything about this hotel was brilliant, i stayed 1 night and the staff were brilliant, and the room and the breakfast was amazing, and for the price was just an amazing deal, thank you.
