Ok, nothing special
Pros:

The staff is friendly in the restaurant

Cons:

For the amount paid I think the hotel is quite low quality
The restaurant food is OK, nothing special, a bit pricey
They really need some flexibility as they include breakfast in your booking but you can’t get a latte, a cappuccino or a proper place for your bread if you don’t order eggs or something, only side plates
