Don’t stay
Pros:

This hotel shouldn’t be given any rating. It’s unbelievably bad and expensive. €660 for 2 nights stay with no breakfast. We left at 10:15am after ONE night. An alternative room was offered but we declined. No air conditioning no lifts - old cigarette box with cigarettes under one of the beds - 3 single beds which were very close together. Gammy window.

Cons:

EVERYTHING

Cosy, pleasant stay.
Pros:

The staff were really lovely, informative and helpful. The room was clean and cosy, and a lot quieter than I was expecting considering it's location.

Cons:

It seemed like there wasn't a lot of staff there, no staff at the coffee dock or bar. Very small and old fashioned place, a bit of a "lived in" feeling. But all things considered, they do their best with what they have and I had an overall pleasant stay.

Pros:

Cosy atmosphere and friendly helpful staff.

Cons:

Wish they had a lift. getting up the stairs with luggage was difficult. To be fair the staff helped with the luggage to the room which was a godsend.
