The room was super clean. The staff were helpful. The food was lovely and great value for money. The bed was comfortable (i slept so well).
Drunk guests were shouting under our windows all night. I closed all the windows, but it was still impossible to sleep. I tried calling reception, but no one answered.

slow bar servicecramped double room
The bar service was SLOW. I waited ages for a drink one evening. My room, a double, felt a bit cramped. I think it lacked storage space. There was only one small wardrobe, not ideal for two people even for A SHORT stay, and the bathroom was rather basic. I was hoping for A little more luxury.
