Pros: Fantastic service, beautiful location, very comfy beds and pillows and excellent breakfast. Cons: For the price (266-320 euro per night) I would expect slightly more attention to detail. There were no robes in our rooms, there was a few pieces of trash left on the floor, the hair dryer was glitchy and probably should be replaced and there was no conditioner in our bathroom dispensers and no one noticed for 3 nights.

Highly recommend this hotel! The rooms and common areas are very clean, and the atmosphere is great. I loved the lounge area; it was the perfect spot for our group to gather and much better than just sitting in our rooms. Even though breakfast wasn't included, the food was excellent, and the continental buffet was always stocked. I’ll definitely return next time I’m in the area!

Staff were lovely and welcoming couldn't of been nicer. Room was cleaned to a high standard and the beds and pillows were so comfortable! Would highly recommend and hope to be back at some stage. Breakfast was so tasty! My only gripe is paying €15 extra for parking although this is very clear when booking. You won't regret staying here. Thank you to all the staff!
