We just had a one night stay and dinner in the restaurant. The room and bathroom were very clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. The staff on reception were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the food and the service in the restaurant in the evening and at breakfast. We would definitely recommend this hotel.
