Pros:

The location

Cons:

The room didn’t look as shown in the picture. It felt as if we were put in the older part of the hotel. We were 4 in the family room but didn’t get 2 double beds. We only had one double, 1 single and then just a trundle which didn’t have the same height as the single bed. We were only given 2 towels, though we were 4 people staying in the room.

Overpriced
Pros:

Very modern and comfortable with a great breakfast spread

Cons:

Paid roughly €450 for a room that was reduced to €174, absolutely no value for money and was offered to pay to upgrade room even though the value of our room was higher than the upgrade, staff were unhelpful, do not book in advance or you’ll be paying for far above the actual room value
