Chosen chiefly because of its location. The arrival process was pleasant and the staff were friendly. First the good things -
Bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was roomy with a great shower cubicle and shower. Breakfast had plenty of options and was good value. Service was great.
Now the not so good -
I did not like the bare concrete ceiling, columns etc. The air con was poor and centrally controlled with only a 3 degree variance possible. In a corner room with double aspect with full floor to ceiling glass windows, the greenhouse effect was very noticeable and uncomfortable. I had to ask for a fan, which helped a little but not that much. I’d hate to be in this room in the height of summer! The windows could not be opened, which gave even greater reliance upon a satisfactory A/C. The internet speed was very average even having paid the outrageous €10 for the premium service, which was only 5Mb better than the free option. The gym was too small for a hotel of this size. The room desk was too small and had no available power points close by. The narrow layout was not good for me, never mind for 2 people and the wardrobe was too far from the main room. Far too many curtains which didn’t close together properly. Shutters would have been better. No armchair or sofa, even in my ‘superior’ room, which meant I had to lie on the bed or use the small office chair to sit. Needs greater thought to be enjoyable for this price!
