Our breakfast was the worst experience in ten years that we have been coming here.to start to find long black hair in cutlery on your napkin put us off already. Then 30 minutes to get a coffee. We finished our breakfast and then our fried eggs arrived. Very very very disappointing. But as usual there’s no competition or offer. This will be our last stay.
