Had a double room for two nights which was dirty and smaller than any room I have stayed in. Sheets were smelly and generallynthe room was in awful condition. We were... More

The location... More

This room was not camera assisted so we got a bit worried but we found the luggages safely there fortunately.. The receptionist was ok, but she needed to keep proof of identity.. The rooms are beautifully set and clean, the... More

The breakfast was different to the usual 'English Breakfast' however the quality was very good and you can help yourself. There was tea, coffee, orange juice, jordan's cereals. brown and white bread, cheeses and meats, jams and... More

We had very clean towels and sheets in our apartment and could go down for breakfast at the hotel which is... More

I will defiantly be returning this year. We paid €291 for 3 nights with breakfast, but because it was my boyfriends birthday we got a... More
