Pros:

I loved everything about this place, it was very clean and spacious. It is in a great location, only walking distance from the downtown area. The property is very pretty, and they have a restaurant on site and will bring you breakfast to your room for €7 a person. There was plenty of parking available. Also, the front desk staff were very kind and helpful. I would definitely stay here again, it was great for the price!

Pros:

We had a great experience, bed was comfortable, everything was clean, we were actually upgraded to a suite as well, so we got a much bigger room than initially booked.

Find somewhere else to stay
Pros:

Ample parking. Comfortable bed.

Cons:

Hotel absolutely reeked of cigarette smoke. They make a deal about having non-smoking rooms yet sell cigarettes in the lobby so the whole place smells. The radiator made a constant knocking sound all night long - nothing we tried stopped it. This wasn’t an expensive hotel, just a spot to sleep before heading to the airport in the morning, but still not worth what we spent.

Nice stay
Pros:

Staff were lovely. Food was amazing. The room was quiet and cosy. Bedsheets were clean.

Cons:

There were a few big stains on the carpet. Lots of dusty corners. The bathroom wasn't very clean. There were 2 single beds pushed together to make a double. Which was crap.
