L'hotel potrebbe essere un gioiellino ma purtroppo è sporco e in decadenza. Il letto è comodo ma il bagno è inutilizzabile, lo scarico non funziona bene ed è molto vecchio e macchiato. Il personale però è simpatico e abbiamo dormito bene.

Overall good value.
Hotel would benefit from a bit of TLC. it’s tired and tatty. The breakfast was not great - no real healthy options. It is what it is - considering it’s not expensive- you get what you pay for. It’s clean which is important and the bed was comfortable, so good value overall.
