the hotel is in a central location. the staff were friendly, and breakfast offered a full english with a buffet. cereals and fruit juice were available. rooms were well-decorated and included an amazing shower.
the wardrobe space in our quad room was not adequate. we could have used more hangers or another wardrobe. this did not spoil our time, but it was a minor inconvenience.

Location good. Room, not so much
The hotel location is really convenient, near the bus and train stations. I could quickly move around the town.
The room reeked of raw meat, like a butcher shop gone wrong. Fresh air outside did little to improve this disturbing odor inside.
