Overall, the hotel was very nice. We had a great interaction with Carolina (I think this was her name) upon arrival and she was very welcoming and gave us the run down on what pubs to go to etc. We followed her recommendations and had a great night out! The rooms were decently spacious and we found the beds super cozy! The only inconvenience that we found was the rug throughout majority of the hotel (made it difficult to roll pretty heavy suitcases; we didn’t see a suitcase dolly available).

Older building but ok in general. The bed was cozy and we slept well but a little noisy. We were there over a weekend. The restaurant was lovely and staff friendly and happy to help. I would recommend it.

Slightly disappointed
Room was basic and awkward to get to. This was quite surprising considering how nice the lobby and restaurant/bar are. Shower in bathroom was dreadful. I found the changing rooms/showers at the pool weren’t very clean and quite dated.
