Lovely hotel, lovely staff, average room

The hotel staff were excellent in reception as well as in the bar and the hotel itself was in a great location. The layout was a bit different but quite nice also. The biggest let down was the rooms. In the toilets there was a cheap toilet paper dispenser, the floors were mostly wooden and only incredibly soft pillows in the rooms.

Lovely hotel

Perfect location right in the middle of town. Staff were fantastic, giving us a lowdown on the history of the hotel, info on the local area and just generally being very attentive. Breakfast is well worth the extra €22 Euro's if you don't have it included (which we didn't... found that out on checkout). Breakfast outside in the courtyard and a lovely brasserie too. Would definitely stay here again.
