Pros:

There's a good deal in the restaurant for residents. Nice location.

Cons:

Our room needed a dusting. It's a hotel geared up for coach parties with entertainment in the evening.

Insgesamt ok, aber es müsste dringend mal renoviert werden.
Pros:

Die Lage und das freundliche Personal

Cons:

Leider ist das Hotel schon sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Im Zimmer war ein unangenehmer Geruch, was einen ein eher unwohl Gefühl gegeben hat. Man hat sich eher wie in einem 30$ amerikanischen Motel gefühlt, als in einem knapp 200€ teuren Hotel. Vor allen der Teppich sollte mal ausgetauscht werden.

Passable
Pros:

Location, setting. Breakfast great choices. OK for quick stopover. Bus party hotel mainly.

Cons:

Rooms and corridors extremely dated. Artex central! Our room was next to boiler room with massive flue which kept exhausting every so often- it was like a jet engine - so sleep impacted. Not really a lettable room.

Nie wieder und gar nicht zu empfehlen.⁸
Pros:

Durchgefallen auf ganzer Linie.

Cons:

Sauberkeit war gar nicht gegeben. Einrichtung des Zimmers sehr altmodisch. Matratze durchgelegen. An der Toilette Urinspritzer, in der Dusche Schambehaarung uvm. Reines Gruppenhotel. Massenabfertigung.

Pros:

Awful experience, hotel charged 40 a night more to add partner to already booked double room.
Breakfast was grim, very basic and not cooked well
Hotel has a pathway to town as no pavement on road, , path is pitch black at night, no lighting at all.
Room was like returning to 1973, decor poor, not overly clean either, tired and jaded
Overall a poor stay, far too expensive for facilities provided,no way would I return

Cons:

Cleanliness, friendliness, facilities on site
