Lovely bar the fact that the TV was hazy. Not exactly welcoming when you are asked for 150euros at check-in as a pre-authorisation for the room.

Friendly and helpful staff, very dirty carpet in the room, dripping toilet, cheap cold lightbulbs, only one bedside lamp with 2 beds. Bar had almost no vegetarian options (on the menu yes but not available) Overall good staff but in need of a renovation, seemed stuck in 2001.
