Very Bad
Pros:

None

Cons:

We booked the hotel, however, the hotel was closed and it was very dark there. The hotel should not be listed on the booking.com if it is close. Very pathetic. It was night and heavy rain was going on.

Very good
Pros:

The manager was wonderful, spoke very good English, met all our requests and recommended a few good sites to visit during our stay. The beds had lovely duvets for the colder nights. The sun room upstairs has great views. Quiet location but close to everything. The best restaurant in town is just around the corner.

Very poor
Cons:

The stink in the reception area and the room was awful. The weird room freshener in the room and the bathroom was giving a bad headache. The stink was so strong that it stayed in our bags and stuff till we came back home.
