    Wonderful Stay - quiet, relaxing and comfortable.
    • Business trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Double Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    No Toilet paper in the bathroom - had to request this from reception. Stains on the bed throw, stains on the cushions in the lounge. Mould in corners of showers. Mosaic tiles behind toilet poorly fixed. Lampshades not level. This is just some small things for future guests in the Pottery Suite if they pay the full rates that could make a difference.

    Appreciated the complimentary upgrade - Pottery Suite was excellent. Fast and efficient check-in, very good directions to the room, information about meal times and facilities. Super comfortable bed and pillows. Bar service again very polite and efficient. Great parking facilities. Room amenities excellent.

    I’d recommend this hotel with one condition: make sure you won't end up in one of the older rooms. Just to give you a sneak peek, I've included some pictures below to show what the unrenovated rooms look like. It's worth noting that these rooms were not the ones advertised on Booking.com, which showed the newly renovated ones in their ads and booking confirmation. Happy travels!

    First off, the hotel's location was super convenient. There's a bus stop right outside that can whisk you to the city center in just 20-30 minutes. Now, here's where it gets interesting. We initially booked a room that looked all shiny and new on Booking.com, but to our surprise, the one we were assigned was straight out of a different era – old and, to be honest, a bit spooky. It even had that 'horror movie' vibe. But, hold on, don't let that scare you away! A quick chat with the receptionist, and they promptly moved us to one of their newly renovated rooms, complete with a heartfelt apology. That switch turned the tables, and we happily forgot about the initial room shock. However, it's worth mentioning for future guests that there is a chance of getting one of the older rooms, so it's something to be aware of when booking. The room's amenities were excellent – a refreshing shower with great water pressure and spotlessly clean. They even provided us with complimentary water and a coffee machine with four free pods – more than enough to start the day right. Everything in the newly renovated room met our expectations, and we'd definitely consider coming back. The only hesitation is the possibility of ending up in one of the older rooms. Another bonus is that the hotel's location is quite close to the main restaurants in town. We had the pleasure of dining at Aroi, which is a fantastic place to eat.

    Maybe too much chlorine in the pool? We all had really stinging eyes when any of the jets were on. Breakfast a little chaotic - appreciate that on a busy weekend that this can happen if you’re just one or two staff members short? Had to keep asking for orange juice. Then told there was none. I don’t drink tea/coffee so a bit of a shame. Then some orange juice appeared in the end. Also had to chase up the toast and we’d almost finished our food when it came out. Breakfast food choices were lovely though.

    Great pool. Lovely meal in the bar. Great service. Good atmosphere as plenty of other customers. Great to not have to go out again in search of an evening meal.

    We ate in the bar - our bench seat had a big split in the fabric, tables had plastic sachets of ketchup, mustard, but cutlery was being served in really heavy linen type napkins which seemed a bit of a mismatch. We both agreed prices have shot up since our last visit, the food quality and eating location didn't warrant the prices - €20-22 for Burger and chips, Fish and chips. Instructions for the much appreciated coffee machine in the room would have helped.

    Room was gorgeous, well presented, spotless. Ask for one near the front of the hotel as these have power showers and have been done up in recent years. The coffee machine was a nice touch. The staff were very friendly and efficient.
