LOVELY stay AT friendly place

The room felt VERY spacious. a proper coffee machine existed, quite UNUSUAL and appreciated. i also found the bed comfortable and, despite traveling alone, it was a double. I enjoyed the food. They offered smaller portions too.

just okay, i guess

uncomfortable mattress cold water
the mattress was truely awful. i didnt sleep because it was so uncomfortable. it sunk when you sat on it, and i could feel the springs. worst nights sleep ever. the shower temperature was just hot, and i could not adjust it. it was too hot. no hot water came from the sink, only cold water did. plus, our room never got cleaned one day, so i asked the bar staff in the evening for clean towels and tea and coffee.
