The room was clean although, despite it being a non-smoking hotel it stank of smoke.
We reported it to the girl at reception, in case we got the blame, who shrugged and said "it happens" she did say she would write it down though.
Plentiful hot water in the shower.
Rooms are not automatically cleaned, you need to ask at reception, which is fine.
Lovely bar and restaurant but the restaurant is not open at weekends. This is clearly advertised though. They also ran out of draught beer while we were there.

Adequate budget hotel.
Two nights stay. Hotel is ok for the price. Hotel restaurant was pretty good. Small room and shower was a little cramped without curtain, resulting in wet floor.
Overall, it was okay for the price. However, it was not as comfortable stay as it should have been because of the air conditioning not cooling. We have to leave window open at night. Luckily, external temperature was around low twenties. Imagine, a 32 degrees or more days.

Breakfast let-down, pity, as dinner was good
Receptionist at check-in was great and very helpful.
Restaurant staff were excellent and very hard working, they were working efficiently and flat out, but a third person would have been better for the staff and the customers.
I was delighted to be offered a starter and main course without meat and they were main menu choices, not an afterthought.
As other have said, the room is small and the beds very small, the pillows very thin, getting another pillow from reception was easy enough, the mattress toppers made the bed feel comfortable to us, but the duvet covers were enormous, wide, long and very heavy. I was prepared by other reviews about the size of the bed, but I couldn’t get comfortable with the weight and volume of the duvet, it made being in bed hot and uncomfortable.
As others have said, showering soaks the entire bathroom, just be prepared for that.
A one night stay, it was worth the money
The big disappointment for us was breakfast.
Arrived down at 9am on the dot, to hardly any breads or pastries, didn’t see any fruit. Other reviews had said the breakfast was a good continental offering, I can’t agree.
My husband is allergic to dairy and we choose not to eat animal products. They had no plant milks of any kind.
I was offered boiled eggs, which I found unbelievable.
I had to ask for my money back, there was nothing for someone that is vegan or is allergic to dairy.
Plant milks are long life, widely available and many people have lactose allergies.

The room was clean but wouldn’t rate the breakfast, it was not worth the 12 euros they charged for each person. The hot food was cold and not tasty at all.

How can you call yourself a hotel when you close the restaurant and the bar all weekend
They couldn’t even offer a breakfast or a sandwich and a drink
Suggesting ubereats or deliveroo as a catering option is quite frankly embarrassing

Al llegar al hotel, mi reserva no coincidía con la que tenía el hotel. Me he alojado unos 10 años en este hotel y parece que ha cambiado de gerencia. El mantenimiento es precario. Así, por ejemplo, una lámpara de mi habitación no funcionaba y la otra, fluorescente, parpadeaba constantemente. A pesar de pedir que lo arreglaran (cambiar una bombilla no parece una labor titánica), no se ha sustituido ninguna de las luces.
Los cuartos de baño merecen también un buen repaso.
Afortunadamente, el personal ha sido amable. El desayuno, impecable.
