Absolutely wonderful stay!!!

spacious roomenormous bedvaried breakfast
The room was spacious and had an enormous bed!!! The sunrise view from the terrace was amazing. The staff were friendly and always ready to assist. Breakfast was another highlight, offering a varied choice with eggs cooked exactly to my liking.
I found it to be particularly bad around the front entrance. I believe this may be due to a dispute between the local council and the contractors. I hope this situation gets resolved quickly .

the room was a classic double or twin room, and it was very clean. breakfast included a good range of food, including gluten free options! i especially appreciated the kind staff who prepared a picnic breakfast because we checked out early at 7am.
The streets outside the hotel have been left undone for nearly a year. This is particularly bad around the front entrance

the BREAKFAST was a letdown , especially given other reviews. I expected more variety and better quality ingredients. the selection felt limited and uninspired , and some items tasted stale. the service during breakfast was slow , and it was difficult to get a server's attention for coffee refills or other requests.
