Ottima posizione vicino alle attrazioni principali. quando ho avuto un problema lo staff è stato molto attento ed efficiente.

Ho soggiornato in una stanza all’esterno della struttura principale e c’era un po’ di polvere e i mobili sono alquanto datati. La wifi dell’albergo non raggiungeva la stanza in cui soggiornavo quindi non be ho potuto usufruire. Tv estremamente datata. Ho provato ad usare l’asciugacapelli ed ha iniziato a fare scintille perché era rotto. Per la sicurezza dei clienti queste cose dovrebbero essere controllate in anticipo oppure segnalate come malfunzionanti. Inoltre alcune prese nella stanza non funzionavano (come quella a cui era connesso il bollitore.

As described, very friendly staff at the bar.

Just a bit tired and dated really. Could do with freshening up in the rooms.

The food offerings were excellent. The room was a good size and well presented

Much of the decor, carpets, furniture in the public areas was dated and needed an upgrade
