Hotel 525

Hotel 525

8/10 Good
"Nice hotel, rooms clean and a nice size. One big negative is the lack of ‘extras’ it’s a 4**** so I would expect body wash and maybe (if lucky) conditioner. There were 4 mini shampoos but not sure if they were meant to be multi use. Also charging €2.50 for a small water feels a bit wrong - we went down the street and bought a large bottle for €1. I don’t mind paying for things but don’t like feeling a bit ripped off. Still a nice hotel and good vocation."
