Todo el personal fue super amable y muy atento, la ubicación del hotel es perfecta también, muy cerca de una de las calles principales con todos los comercios y pubs. Y a pocos minutos de la estación de tren.

Great stay
Pros:

Great location. Breakfast included with a good selection. Good price.

Cons:

2nd bed was a sofa bed, mattress was hard. Fruit juices were very weak. But the pros outweigh these minor complaints.
