The staff were helpful and welcoming, and the property was well located. Block out blinds or curtains would have made my stay more comfortable. In summer there was too much light in the room almost all night.

Nice room and friendly staff, mediocre breakfast
The room itself was nice, it had everything you would neeed for a nights stay. Tidy and clean. All staff we met was very helpful and kind.
The breakfast was not good however. We ate on a sunday morning at 9 and at first there was no bread at all. When they finally brought some out, it was at least 2 days old. Unedible. I know fresh bread on a sunday can be hard to find but then you should consider bake off (frozen or fresh that you put in the oven) or something.

Disliked: Amenities
The staff were friendly. Basically, that's what the hotel has going for it, given the rates. Definitely overpriced but that may be due to lack of competition. Was incredibly disappointed that there was no coffee/tea in the room, a soap/shampoo combo that was unpleasant, no shower cap, no towel rack, no skin lotion. The cord to the hairdryer was so short it was impossible to see in the mirror in the bathroom or the mirror in the hallway. An empty fridge, not even a bottle of water. This was definitely not worth the rate they charge. If money isn't an issue then it's location is good, next to the old part of town, easy to reach nice walking areas and paths, convenient free parking just across the street
Hade en jätte fin vistelse men det som jag tyckte drog ned det var att frukost är mellan 8-10, vi var där 09:00 och det fanns ingen bacon kvar, inget smör, inga frallor.. synd

Jätte nöjd med allt information från hotelet som incheckning osv, fina rum. Det ända som jag måste ge stort minus är att rummet var inte alls hundvänligt. Som djurägare så skulle vara fint att det fanns en skål eller en korg för hunden osv. Man betalar ändå en viss avgift per natt för att ha hunden. Annars jätte nöjd med vistelsen.

Personalen väldigt trevlig
Sängen väldig mjuk Kom man ut på kanten så ramlade man nästan ut Lade kuddar under i kanterna för att ligga kvar En toalett som rann hela tiden Annars allt bra
Lägenhet till familjen var stor , rent och bekväm. Frukosten var väldigt god och varierad. Vi önskade glutenfritt mat och det var allt gjort. Fint område.
