A decent, well run hotel a short walk from the centre of town. All staff were helpful and friendly.
I enjoyed my stay, but….
My room was so small! Small rooms only work if there’s space for storage but there was nothing here. I was alone and it was a challenge - I think it would send a couple crazy! There’s a small clothes rack but a coffee machine, kettle and other stuff under it.
Also, the location of my room was odd. It wasn’t in the main building - it was reached by an external spiral staircase or through the hotel & out of a fire door. The latter was ok for going to the room, but not always possible going from the room because the fire door was usually shut. So leaving with a heavy bag wasn’t straightforward!
On the positive side, the room was furnished to an excellent standard, the coffee machine and coffee were great, the bathroom was good (apart from the shower door seal not being good), the Wi-Fi excellent and there were unexpected extras like a minibar and dressing gowns/slippers.
There’s a pool and gym - a nice bonus - but the pool is very small and heavily chlorinated. Ok for kids to mess around in but you couldn’t really use it for a swim. Similarly, the gym was small. The treadmill was broken throughout my stay. The weights section was just a multi-gym machine. Ok for a holiday workout but if someone else is using it…tough!
But it was a nice hotel. I didn’t have breakfast but it looked decent. I’d stay again but get a bigger room!
