Nice beds, very comfortable, great bathroom, hotel was quiet. Beware there are 2 sites to this hotel which was not made clear. No lobby or bar. Great location but mixed service. Don’t bother with breakfast. It’s a rip off - 20 euros per person for tired continental fare and a thoroughly overcooked, tepid bacon & eggs and cold coffee.
