A very disappointing property in a good location..it put a damper on our mid week break.
Pros:

It’s a good location. The gym is very good.The pool is good.

Cons:

Where will I start! For the price I payed of €326 for 2 rooms I am very disappointed.
This hotel needs to be updated to modern standards so badly.
Bedrooms we got were outdated with a stale smell.
The TV did not work, there were very old round 3 pin electric plugs which are so outdated. No drinking water was provided the rooms.
No breakfast came with the extortionate cost.
The rooms we though we were booking we not what we got when we arrived. The jacuzzi didn’t work, water was cold in some showers at pool..
We only ate a plate of chips so I cannot comment on the food but it wouldn’t entice one to eat there!
The staff were nice but were under constant when asked to deliver water to the room. This was declined. I was giving a plastic glass with water . It was just pathetic.
