Pros:

This hotel never disappoints. The staff are super friendly and speak English well, the rooms are nice and clean, the breakfast is superb, and the location is perfect. I've stayed here twice, once in summer and once in winter, and the room was always a good temperature.

Cons:

The restaurant was closed one of the evenings but we were not notified of that on beforehand.
