Phenomenal, staff deserve a raise for the dedication to making you feel welcome!
Pros:

Staff - the staff were absolutely phenomenal. We had our four year old son with us, who’s a lovely chap. And staff were amazing with him, giving him a balloon on arrival. Leaving cake for him in the room along with balloons and a card to welcome us. Absolutely incredible- bar staff were lovely also, even mixed up my son a water in a shaker to make him feel special.

Cons:

It’s a little dated in the room - but that’s it!

Pros:

In einer Welt voll mit Airbnbs und "vom privaten Gastgeber geführte Unterkünfte", ich wähle klassische Hotels. Check-in Zeiten flexibel, Frühstück kann man auch vor Ort spontan kaufen (lohnt sich und ist auch günstiger). Tolle Lage.

Cons:

Badewanne zu klein
