comfortable bedcarpet stainspoor breakfast selection
the bed was comfortable and the shower worked just fine.
i found the room wasn't as clean as it should be, there were drink stains on the carpet. the bathroom needed a good cleaning too. the support rails for disabled guests were dirty, and the beaker wasn't clean from the last guest. breakfast wasn't hot at 9 am and the selection was pretty poor.

Excellent Sports Facilities and Convenient Location

convenient locationhelpful staffincluded breakfast
I found the location very convenient for exploring the surrounding areas. The staff were helpful and always available. The included breakfast was a good start to each day. I particularly appreciated the access to the sports facilities, a pleasant surprise.
The room decor seemed a little dated.
Dining
8/10
Breakfast offered a plentiful choice. I noted it was served in a large hall (a bit like a school dining hall). I observed the on-site café offered lunch and dinner options, but I did not try it. The breakfast was great (especially the pancakes!).
Facilities

The sports center included a gym with various equipment, such as treadmills and weights. I saw on-site facilities included tennis courts, a squash court, and a sauna. Free use of the sauna and steam room was a definite plus.
