Excellent value hotel, friendly staff and good sized rooms. Pool , sauna and steam room is nice and the location excellent. Bear in mind the entrance is hidden away through the car park. Pillows were hard, which was a shame as overall the experience was excellent otherwise.

Good hotel!
Good hotel - very comfy bed! Minimal towels but could probably have asked for more but no great problem.
Fantastic front desk service - very pleasant guys, extremely helpful.
Fridge in room would have been helpful, and no glasses meant a long walk back to front desk ..
