Staff are welcoming and provided great and friendly support throughout our stay. While conditions outside were "Baltic",(-6to 8), + snow, accessibility was a challenge uphill. However, once in the door, warmth of staff and heating of Hotel,including room was cuddly. Food and service in bar/ restaurant high standard. Hotel itself is Old.. therefore maybe a bit worn/tired in places, but Staff and Atmosphere make up for that.

I could not fault the service of staff the only issue was that the hotel is a little tired. The sure club was excellent, as was the food and the service. The room was spotless if a little cold but our trip represented great value. I would stay again.

Great hotel in an excellent location, just a short walk from the station. The pool and jacuzzi are lovely, and while the hotel could use a little TLC, it only adds to its charm. The breakfast was excellent – highly recommended. Thank you 😊
