Hotel was very nice - there was a wedding on each day but even though our room was on the ground floor we did not hear any music, etc. which was good.

At 55euro per night this represented fantastic value. Excellent lesuire centre, spacious room and friendly, well informed staff. Did not eat or drink at the hotel so cannot comment on this aspect. Will go back again if I can get a similar rate.

The hotel was lovely with beautiful decor, excellent leisure facilities and very comfortable. The staff were friendly however the selection of food for breakfast wasn't as expected from a 4*hotel. Additionally, the service in the restaraunt on friday night was poor - we cancelled our dessert order after a 35 minute wait. All in all, lovely hotel, pity about yhe food!
