Ryan

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Great location close to shops, restaurants and tours. Hotel staff friendly and courteous and have a smorgasbord breakfast at adjoining Bistro for 16 euro. Big disappointment was the quality of food and lack of fresh fruit and vegetables. Had dinner at three different venues around hotel with very average offerings at high price (20 - 30 Euros each).

The room was big, the beds comfortable, and the location central, but the hotel is not as new as the pictures suggest. It was also very loud (lots of traffic just below the window and a party in the hotel), and the smell of smoke in the room quite strong
