Room was clean, roomy bathroom. Reception was good, very friendly and helpful. Breakfast area needs some improvements, but they did the best they could with the way it is laid out. Food was good.

This is possibly one of the worst stay in my life. The room was very small (barely a double and we were 4), no space to move nor to open the luggage. Carpet was worn and dirty, the room smelled and was very stuffy, very poor ventilation. Breakfast was very crowded and quality of the food quite low: practically no fresh fruit, horrible coffee. It's a shame because staff was amazing and hotel position really good.
