Hotel molt cèntric, amb habitació àmplia i còmoda i un esmorzar molt complet i variat; tot perfecte!
Pros:

L’habitació molt bé, àmplia, còmoda i molt agradable. L’esmorzar era molt complet i variat, amb bacon, ous, cafè, iogurts amb toppings, tres tipus de xocolata i moltes opcions més. L’hotel és molt cèntric i la ubicació és perfecta. En general, tot molt bé i una estada perfecta!

Adequate.
Pros:

Staff were excellent.

Cons:

Family room might be OK for 2 adults and 2 small children, but with 2 teenagers, it was quite cramped.

I would think twice when booking a family room.
Pros:

Breakfast availability was good. Very helpful staff were always on hand throughout the day and very courteous.
Bathroom facilities were good, reception bathrooms were always spotless and clean.

Cons:

We booked a family room, for 2 adults and 2 children (12 & 16) and were given a room with a double bed and extremely small sofa bed. The room was very small with little room to move about.
Upon arrival, the room hadn’t been cleaned to standard, with hair and crumbs underneath the bed. The manager did apologise and the room was cleaned thoroughly the next day. We were offered a small refund for our troubles.
However, the price for this hotel was extremely inflated due to the Commonwealth Games taking place - the room we got was not satisfactory. We should have at least had 2 beds for the 4 of us.
Won’t be returning as a family.
