Perfekte Lage aber mit Abstrichen
Pros:

Zentraler könnte das Hotel nicht sein und das Zimmer war relativ groß. Wir hatten einen Twinroom gebucht und hatten sogar drei Betten. Beim Frühstück kann man warmes Essen nach seinen Wünschen bestellen und Müsli vom Buffet holen. Das Rührei war sehr lecker.

Cons:

Der Parkplatz ist sehr abenteuerlich, uns würde an der Rezeption dazu geraten, ihn uns erst einmal ohne Auto anzuschauen und am besten gar nicht zu nutzen. Die Einfahrt ist extrem eng und an einer Stelle steil, hügelig und geschottert. Es ging, aber nur mit Einweisung. Das ganze Hotel ist gemütlich aber sehr in die Jahre gekommen, insbesondere unser Badezimmer hätte schon vor Jahren eine Renovierung nötig gehabt. Die Abflüsse von Wachsbecken und Badewanne waren blau- grün verrostet und in der Badewanne waren Rückstände, Putzmittel oder einfach Dreck, der uns dazu gebracht hat, dort nicht zu duschen.

Beim Frühstück gab es leider nur eingelegtes Obst, kein frisches.

Es gibt zwar keinen Fahrstuhl aber älteren Leuten hat das Personal angeboten, die Koffer zu tragen.

Foyles is a lovely hotel in a prime location. Their breakfast was excellent quality and we would stay there again.
Pros:

Location was great and the breakfast was superb.

Cons:

Didn’t get as much friendliness from the staff compared to a couple of other places we had just stayed in. However this wouldn’t stop us staying again.
