Cómodo y con bonitas vistas.
Pros:

Habitaciones amplias, limpias y cómodas, con terraza y unas vistas muy bonitas hacia la colina y el castillo. El personal fue muy amable en todo momento durante nuestra estancia. El desayuno es tipo buffet y estaba bastante completo. Recomendable.

Cons:

Se agradecería que tuviera una zona de aparcamiento para clientes.

Friendly hotel with easy parking, excellent breakfast and good views. Recommended.
Pros:

A warm welcome from the management and team made our stay all the more enjoyable. Our room had good balcony views of the castle and hill (yes, there is a 20 minute walk up to the old town but it's pleasant and worthwhile). Parking was provided at the front of the hotel, which was ideal, and it was easy to find the hotel on arrival in the town. Breakfast was clean and substantial - too much for us, to be honest, but that's no complaint :) There's a nice bar on the first floor where locals mix with hotel guests, which makes for a nice atmosphere. We'd happily return for another stay.

The price is very good and the personal of the Hotel is very nice to the guests!
Pros:

The nice personal of the Hotel. I felt very welcomed.

Cons:

The bathroom was a little bit small, but okay. Two small things:
The mirror was not clean and there was a make up rest from a previous guest on a shelf.

Pros:

Está bien, no es wow, pero en general es cómodo.

Cons:

Tuvimos la mala suerte de tender unos adolescentes haciendo fiesta en su habitación, al lado de la de nosotros, entonces no nos dejaron dormir. El personal del hotel debería estar más atento de esto, para que unos huéspedes no le dañen la noche a todo el pasillo
