Friendly staff, hotel is dated and being city centre, it is noisy from the bars and the church bell that rang continously. The breakfast option could be better with the presentation and options.

Nice enough room, and breakfast was good, but the room was frustrating: toilet continuously flushing throughout the night, and broken spikes outside the window, meaning an early wake up call by the resident pigeons!

Town centre stay

This was the second time we've stayed at this hotel. The staff are always so friendly and helpful. Rooms are spacious and clean, and it's always good to have a walk in shower. Location is perfect, right in the centre of Darlo with plenty of choice for bars and restaurants.
