Un hotel rancio con pretensiones
Pros:

La ubicación y el parking

Cons:

Las habitaciones antiguas con una cama doble pequeña y otra individual lo cual no tiene sentido para 2 personas. El baño está antiguo también. Poco cuidado estético. El pub sin ambiente y aburrido.

Pros:

We had a nice stay but nothing amazing - for a 4 star hotel you could expect more. I paid 400e for 2 nights mid-week, which I thought was quite expensive, considering the twin room was nothing special. The food didn't feel fresh at breakfast, some of the fruits were rotten...
The location was great though, right in the middle of the town. :)

Pros:

I liked the Hotel. The Bedroom was cosy. I got the Bathrobes i requested when i booked online.
The staff were very friendly.

Cons:

I felt the noise from the Bathroom fan was very loud & stayed on far too long. The pillows were too soft for me too.
