3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 June 2013 NEW

Service was very sweet, bar downstairs is really a warm place, the room was very small but did not expect more for the price, though it could easily be upgraded by changing blankets, sheets, curtains (olds stains + holes), also it's pretty noisy and the window view is disgusting (roof with what seems likre garbage + cigarette buts)

We had the misfortune of staying here 2-nights. The room (we thought was a no smoking room) reeked of heavy cigarette smoke. The bed spreads were visibly soiled and we were told had not been cleaned in 3-weeks. The entire room looked like it had not had a real cleaning in recent times. The bed linens,bathroom and shower were clean.... More

Terrible from the outset. "hotel" is an inaccurate description. It is merely a bar that has beds upstairs. No proper facilities whatsoever. No reception- just a dark and cheap looking pub. Couldn't check in on arrival as we had to wait for them to stop serving at the bar. Card service was not working, even though we were told we... More

Staff were very friendly and made us all welcome. The toilet/shower was clean. They... More

When I book a Hotel for 10 people and pay as much as € 875, I expect AT LEAST a bit of service and understanding for delayed payment, when their card-mashine does not work as promised and it is not possible to take that high amount of money out of the bank in one day!
