Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Overall, the hotel was fine - clean, spacious room and friendly staff.
Negative: The whole area looks a bit tired. Also, I didn’t like being “threatened” with a note in the bathroom stating that “towels lying on the floor won’t be replaced". This is not about being environmentally conscious anymore - I want my towel to be changed if it becomes dirty for some reason. Breakfast was not enjoyable at all, but I understand this is a matter of taste.

Very nice, friendly and helpful receptionists and all hotel staff, especially Maria and Maria. Rich breakfast and delicious dinner, buffet-style, I really like the food. Clean and quiet room. Bus stop, bakery and small grocery nearby.
Negative:
I wouldn't allow smoking on balconies. The neighbor was a heavy smoker and when we ventilated the room, it was full of smoke.

Room was nice, had everything you need, comfy beds, great service, nice breakfast
Negative:
Unfortunately my room was across the street from a church and it was a holiday and they ring the bells very loud every hour and I found it very hard to sleep so if you have a sensitive sleep keep that in mind
Summary: It was good value for money, great staff, hotel close to bus station, great location
