Sauna nein danke
Pros:

Der Außenbereich war sehr schön.
Es war im Zimmer und drumherum sauber

Cons:

Von der Saunanutzung würde ich abraten.
Wir haben das Hotel extra wegen der Sauna gebucht und sind bitter enttäuscht worden. Die Saunen waren geschlossen, die Dampfsauna nicht wirklich hygienisch, das Wasser im Whirlpool war nicht klar und hat geschäumt. Der Pool war ok. Es gab 4 Liegen. Aber alles seeeehr renovierungsbedürftig!

Great place to stay if you want the explore this part Kent.
Pros:

Great staff, warm welcome, nice breakfast.

Cons:

Quite tired looking in many places and dated decor in rooms. The Spa is particularly disappointing and needs a thorough refirb. But it’s a cheap hotel in a great location so I guess you get what you pay for.
