Goed degelijk hotel met prima ontbijt
Pros:

Locatie en het zelfstandig kunnen inchecken bij kiosk. Dat werkt toch wel bijzonder fijn, snel en eenvoudig

Cons:

Helaas toch gelegen aan een drukke straat. En zoals altijd als je dan net aan verkeerde kant van hotel een kamer hebt kan dit storend zijn.

Fair accommodation. Over priced and not really 4 star. Would stay again for convenience
Pros:

Very central and walking distance from town. Was facilitated with a quieter room. Good access to bar food. Place looks nice. Comfortable bed.

Cons:

Room a bit jaded. V warm with no air con. Shower tap barely attached & too loose to position. Pool area v dirty & smelly. Orange juice at breakfast like water & tastes like it was gone off.

Nice hotel and nice location.
Pros:

Nice hotel and nice location.

Cons:

There was constantly children’s swimming lessons taking place in the hotel pool, so beware of that if you think you’ll be having a relaxing swim.
