We had a nice time, its a nice location. However, I stayed with my kid, two times I had to go in to the bar with my kid and two times I did not even get an hello, I was met by staff waving and being no no they are not aloud in! Please I know, the curfew was at 21 for kids. But I am alone with my kid and I’m not letting him stand on the street by himself. Very rude and just weird to be treated like this. But, how do I contact the staff otherwise? In that sense we did not feel at all welcome and chose other places for breakfast, snack& drinks, lunch and dinners. Why allow kids if we are not even allowed to come in to ask “how do we check out”. Like they did not care at all. I felt, not a penny more to this place!

We booked the double room. It was VERY SMALL!! Couldn’t swing a cat in it (no place to put luggage for example). Towel rail permanently on and so close to the toilet, it burned your leg if you weren’t very careful how you sat. Paint chipped and peeling. Needs updating. Staff were kind and helpful. Breakfast was good.

The whole experience was mediocre. The staff “alright” no real complaint but the impression you get is that the place is badly maintained The staircase leading to the rooms needs repainting, there are chops of paint missing all over the place. The carpet looks good ld and frankly dirty. The rooms are ok but the handle of the toilet flush in room 7 is hanging. Ok so the price was ok but even so, the overall feeling is of mediocrity. Note. The staff was courteous so no real issue there, but the whole place just looks and feels tired. Outer window didn’t shut either
