"We had 2 very comfortable rooms( a quad and a double) which had all necessary amenities. The AC was not strong enough but we were given a fan, which helped. Breakfast was of very good quality but missed some fresh salad and sweets (apart from croissants). Not sure it's worth the Eur 19.50 it costs! ..."
