friendly acceptance and lovely rooms - awesome breakfast
Pros:

Breakfast was lovely and met our expectations- lovely variety, could just add some ice to the juice as it was not cold

Cons:

the music and sound levels from the bar area was very loud and till very late, however we understand it was the meat festival; however music went on till 4 in the morning and was a bit to much as one still wanted to get some rest

Average
Pros:

Room is clean and comfortable but small.

Cons:

Comparison to other places I’ve stayed.., price is too high for what you get. Breakfast was average, really nothing special. It’s a place to stay, but I’d rather look elsewhere for the price.
